Taco Wednesday?! I’M IN. Taco any day of the week as far as I’m concerned… especially with these turkey breast & bell pepper tacos!
And we’re not talking turkey breast deli meat… we’re talking juicy tender turkey breast tenderloins that are similar to chicken breast but better in my opinion! We roast up these delicious turkey breasts with sliced bell peppers and shallots then dice them and serve on tortillas with the BEST avocado jalapeño lime sauce and crumbed goat cheese. You in?!
