- salsa to taste
- guacamole to taste
Instructions
- Heat the ghee in a stockpot or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground turkey, taco seasoning, bell peppers, onions, and garlic.
- Cook until turkey is browned and the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. (Cooking tip: You don’t need to add water or broth to the fat when you are cooking the meat for this meal.)

- Roll up or fold and enjoy! Alternatively, serve the filling on a bed of greens as a taco salad.
