Mango salsa--Gluten free

So here's a keeper. I made this the other day for a sweet and spicy treat. You can adjust the amounts to suit your tastes.

1 mango, chopped
4 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 purple onion, chopped
1/2 lemon
2 jalapenos, chopped
2 poblano peppers, chopped
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
Salt (as needed or optional)

Place all chopped items in bowl and mix. Squeeze lemon over and mix again. Let sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to marry. Serve with corn tortilla chips. Store left overs in fridge.

Turkey Tacos --Gluten Free


Sometimes making a gluten-free dish is easy.


I was trying to create something spicy to make that would taste great and not have that "for" in the title--as in "That's great for gluten-free." Ever heard that one?


It's been chilly here as well so making something that would warm the inside is always a plus.



And here's what you'll need to create this:

1 package of ground turkey (This will easily serve 4-5)
2 poblano chilies, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 onion, chopped
8-10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half.
2 T EVOO
1/2 Lemon

2 T cumin
2 T chili powder
1 T fiery pepper spice
1 T Mrs dash Fiesta Lime
1 tsp chopped garlic
dash of salt (optional)

First, on medium heat, heat up EVOO. Then add onions. Saute for a minute. Then add half of spices and all of garlic. Stir for 5 minutes. Add peppers. Saute for 5 minutes more or until onions are translucent. Add cherry tomatoes, and juice from half lemon. Saute for 5 more minutes. Add ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks. Add extra EVOO only if meat and veggies start to stick to bottom of pan. Add rest of spices. Cook until turkey is cooked, stirring and breaking up the meat.

While meat is cooking, heat a dry pan on medium high heat. Warm up corn tortillas (2-3 per person).

Place on table toppings like:
chopped cilantro
salsa
sour cream or sour yogurt
shredded Monterrey/jack cheese
chopped lettuce

Place meat and tortillas on table and let the eating begin!
