Use what you have! Substitute what you don’t have, it’ll turn out great! I promise!

You can substitute ANY ground meat, ANY type of bean, and you can use brown rice OR quinoa. Hope this helps!

Ahhh….there is nothing easier than a Tasty, QUICK, One-Pan Skillet meal on a busy weeknight!

This one is DELICIOUS and great if you need to feed a few people, then reheat later for stragglers who show up later after work and such.

Turkey + Quinoa Taco Bake tastes even BETTER reheated the next day or two. Makes for an EXCELLENT food prep idea!

I like to double the recipe at night for dinner, then dish up the remaining servings equally into sealed glass containers & set into the fridge for future meals.
