Hello my pals! How are you doin’? Enjoying summer, I bet!

I spent the last two days near the pool with a Blackberry Mint Julep in one hand, and a fly swatter in the other. Dang flies are everywhere! And bees. I hate them things! Only because their sting hurts. But they’re beautiful AND very useful… as long as they stay far away from me.

But Taco Bowls?! THOSE are the kinds of things that I want to stay near me. Very close to me.

I had some friends over last Tuesday, and when I was thinking about what to serve, my thoughts went toward Taco-Tuesday then moved to salads, and once I put it all together, I came up with these Taco bowls.

These babes come with layers of goodness, from taco-seasoned ground turkey, to finely chopped salad, tomatoes, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

They’re so, so delicious!

And how about the cute bowls?

These bowls are just 8-inch low-carb flour tortillas stuffed inside a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin and baked to a golden perfection.

While they are in the oven trying to crisp up a bit, we’re going to prepare the taco meat – which takes, like, 7-ish minutes – and then chop up the salad, the tomatoes, and the avocados.

The last thing we have left to do is remove the tacos bowls from the oven and stuff ’em up with all the delicious things that make up a taco.

What’s even better, especially with recipes like this, is that you can add other things and totally customize it to your own taste.  More cheese? PLEASE! Jalapenos? Why not?! Salsa? HECK YES!

Just don’t forget the squeeze of lime juice before biting into it. I don’t know. I think there’s nothing better than that initial limey zing when you bite into anything taco-related. Just me?! Ah well. I love it!

      I have a couple of tech people looking into it because I can’t figure out why it’s not working for some of my readers. 🙁 I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
