MAKE YOUR OWN TACOS BAR

Steps:

• Chipotle Turkey Taco Filling:In a small skillet preheated over medium high heat, add oil and turkey breast meat. Brown meat 2 or 3 minutes, then add onions and garlic. Cook onions and meat together for another 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chipotles, chili powder and tomato sauce. Season your filling with salt to your taste. Stir 1/2 cup water into your filling. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until ready to serve.
• Pork and Bell Pepper Filling:Heat a small to medium skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and pork to hot pan. Break up pork as it browns, 2 to 3 minutes. Add peppers to the pork and season mixture with cumin, cayenne sauce, allspice, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to moderate and cook filling 5 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup water to the pork. Reduce heat to low to keep filling warm.
• Combine all Pico de Gallo ingredients in a small bowl and serve.
• To assemble bar, arrange taco shells next to the stove top. Serve the fillings from the skillets they were cooked in. Place toppings in small dishes on opposite side of the stove top. Tex Mex Red Beans and Rice or store bought refried beans make a great side dish.

Steps:

• For the sweet potato and squash filling: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the sweet potato and squash cubes with the olive oil, cumin, garlic and salt to taste in a bowl and then transfer to a baking sheet. Bake until the vegetables are lightly browned and fork-tender, approximately 30 minutes.
• For the mushroom saute: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the onions and garlic. Cook until translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add the chile powder, then juice the lime and orange halves over the mushrooms and add salt to taste. Let sit on low heat for 1 minute. Add the cilantro and remove from the heat.
• For the ground bison: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on high heat and add the ground bison. Cook, stirring continuously, until it starts to brown. Add in the cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt to taste. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the meat is browned.
• For the taco bar: Place the corn tortillas, lettuce leaves, radishes, bell peppers, avocado, cheese, pico de gallo and yogurt into separate serving containers. Place the mushrooms, bison and sweet potato and squash mixture into separate bowls. Have fun assembling!
