{Dinner: Black Bean Turkey Tacos}

I absolutely love tacos.  I love the their versatility and love that tacos can be an easy to prepare weeknight dinner!  Plus, tacos are a huge crowd pleaser! 

And, how could I forget that tacos are just down right delicious!  I always have a hard time responding when people ask me what my favorite food or meal is.  And you know what? I think that tacos might rate up their as one of my favorites!  Taco nights growing up, were always kind of a big ordeal.  My parents set out every taco "topping" imaginable to ensure that there was something for everyones taste buds.  To this day I still feel like I have to set out a "spread" of taco toppings every time I make tacos!  

These delicious tacos feature lean ground turkey, black beans and veggies to bulk up this slightly spicy taco filling.  Serve this flavorful taco filling wrapped in warm whole wheat tortillas or as your "meaty" taco salad topping!
