I have fun sharing several taco recipes with you from the cookbook called Taco! Taco! Taco! by Sarah Haas.

So far, I have shared 3 of her recipes:

• BBQ Skirt Steak Tacos
• Pork Tinga Slow Cooker Tacos
• Cumin Chickpea Tacos

Today, I am going to share another one of her great recipes, Avocado Basil Turkey Tacos. I can’t wait to try this recipe out!

Avocado Basil Turkey Tacos

Servings: 4 people

Author: Sarah Haas

Ingredients

For the dressing:

• ½ ripe avocado
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup fresh basil, lightly packed
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil mayonnaise or other mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons water
• ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

• 4 cups baby spinach, thinly sliced
• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 ripe tomato, chopped
• 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, chopped
• 1 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

For the tacos:

• 12 ounces roasted turkey breast, thinly sliced
• 8 flour tortillas, warmed or room temperature

Instructions

To make the dressing:

1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor or blender along with the oil, basil, mayonnaise, and water. Blend until smooth.

2. Season with salt and pepper.

To make the salad:

1. To a large mixing bowl, add the spinach, onion, tomato, mozzarella, and basil, then toss with the red wine vinegar.

To make the tacos:

1. Spread the avocado mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla, then top with the turkey and the spinach mixture.

Recipe Notes

GROCERY TIP: For the turkey, you can use the deli varieties or purchase a cooked turkey breast that you can slice at home.

COOKING TIP: To thinly slice basil (also called chiffonade), gather basil leaves and stack them on top of each other. Roll up lengthwise, then slice across the rolled leaves. You’ll be rewarded with “ribbons” of basil.

Here is another great taco recipe: Cumin Chickpea Tacos.

I’ve been able to share two other recipes from Sara Haas’s new recipe book called Taco! Taco! Taco! There are over 100 taco recipes, and who doesn’t love tacos? I am able to share 7 of her recipes, and they all are different, unique, and sound delicious! You can find the book HERE.

I like this taco recipe because it is vegetarian, but still would be a recipe that I enjoy — and I eat meat! I do like beans though and the spice cumin. The beans also give you a lot of protein and fiber. This recipe also has a slaw part to it, just like the BBQ Skirt Steak Tacos. (You can find the recipe for Pork Tinga Slow Cooker Tacos HERE.)

Here is the recipe for Cumin Chickpea Tacos.

Last week, I shared a different taco recipe called Pork Tinga Slow Cooker Tacos by Sara Haas from her new recipe book called Taco! Taco! Taco! You can find the book HERE.

I love tacos, and I think it is neat that a book was written with over 100 different taco recipes.

Another taco recipe that can be found in Taco! Taco! Taco! is BBQ Skirt Steak Taco.

I love that there is some slaw combined with the meat in this taco. Some veggies along with the meat is a great combo!

Tacos are one of my favorite foods to eat — and to make.

I love to make taco bars for when I have to host a large group of people. It’s not hard, diverse, and adaptable to any diet.

I usually make plain rice and some black beans as well as we add those to our soft tacos. When I use a hard shell, I will sometimes crunch up my hard shell and make a taco salad with a lot of lettuce and beans, which makes me feel like I’m eating a little healthier.

Sara Haas has a book called Taco! Taco! Taco! and shared 6 recipes from her book of over 100 taco recipes.

This recipe, Pork Tinga Slow Cooker Tacos, is posted with her permission, and I am going to have to try it! Over the next few weeks, I’ll share 5 more of these delicious taco recipes. Might as well share some Tacos on our Tasty Tuesday’s parties!

Here’s the recipe for Pork Tinga Slow Cooker Tacos!

2. Add the tomatillo salsa and garlic, cook 1 more minute. Stir in the chipotle and adobo and remove from the heat.

3. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a blender along with the broth or water and carefully puree until smooth (alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to puree).

To cook the pork:

2. Pour pureed sauce over the pork, then cover with a lid and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours.

To shred the pork:

1. Using two forks, shred the pork (this can be done inside the slow cooker).

To make the tacos:

1. Serve pork in warmed tortillas, then top with shredded lettuce, shredded cabbage, thinly sliced radish, and cotija cheese.

Recipe Notes

RECIPE NOTE: I know it seems like a pain to cook something before slow cooking it, but I promise this is worth it!
SERVING TIP: Pile the veggies on for these tacos! The crunchier, the better!

Every month seems to be a little crazier than the month before.

It’s easy to get depressed or sad if you watch the news or hang out on social media. I know for me, I need some normalcy in my life. So this blog is my normalcy. I have done it for 7 years now, and even though I don’t spend as much time doing it as I used to due to how my life is changed, it does give me an outlet.

Tomorrow I am also going to start a Bible study with some of friends. Staying grounded in God’s Word is very necessary for me.

I am thankful for all of you who also find blogging to be an outlet for you. We all try to help in our own way, and maybe you can through your website be a positive voice in this world.

If nothing else, everybody is staying home more and cooking more. Let’s give them something positive to turn to when they are looking for a new recipe!

Growing up, we have always had one favorite brownie recipe.

It is the easiest recipe to throw together! You can frost them or just sprinkle powdered sugar  on top. Of course, we love to eat them with ice cream.

Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 c. margarine
• 2 c. sugar
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa

Instructions

1. Cream together margarine and sugars.
2. Add vanilla and eggs.
3. Add flour, salt, and cocoa. Beat until creamy.
4. Pour into a greased 9″x 13″ pan. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. When brownies are cooled, frost with chocolate frosting.

This is a recipe that I had posted four years ago, but my daughter just made them and posted a video showing how easy it is to make these brownies.

One reason I like this recipe besides how easy it is to make is that it makes a 9″ x 13″ pan of brownies. The brownies are a good thickness as well. They are soft and chewy. We love them!

Many people have picked up or revived hobbies during this time of staying at home due to the Coronavirus.

My 2nd daughter has tried to establish healthier habits. We had been going to our local YMCA since she wasn’t able to do spring soccer, but that closed. Since our church has a gym that no one is using, she would go run and walk as well as do some exercises.

She also started to make food videos again to go along with my Tasty Tuesday’s posts. A couple of the recipes that she made a video for was for healthier food items that she would like to eat for a snack or for a meal.

One of the recipes she made was for Easy Oatmeal Peanut Butter Energy Balls.

These balls included only 6 ingredients, were easy for her to make, required no baking or cooking, and taste good!

Here is her video for the Oatmeal Peanut Butter Energy Balls:

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (or Oatmeal Scotchies) has always been one of my favorite cookie recipes.

I actually published this recipe almost 5 years ago. But last week, I turned 45, and my 2nd daughter asked what she could make for dessert. I said she could make these cookies. They were so good!

She also made a video to show how easy it is to make these cookies!

These are drop cookies, so they are very easy to make. Mix together all the ingredients and drop by teaspoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake and eat! They also freeze nicely.
