I just came up with a great new recipe that I
think you might really enjoy. My sister was visiting us from out of town
and I wanted to have her over for dinner.
My kids requested tacos, and I usually use extra lean ground turkey, but
my sister is a vegetarian and so I wanted to come up with something she
might enjoy as well.
Well I sauteed a bunch of Gardenburgers (meatless “veggie burger”) with
taco seasoning and it was amazing, everyone loved it.
So, I thought I’d pass it on to you. You definitely don’t have to be a
vegetarian to enjoy this. If you try this recipe, let me know what you
think. Enjoy!
