A combination of lean ground beef and ultra-lean ground turkey breast

making your own full-flavored filling.
Servings: 6
Serving Size: about 1/2 cup each
ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
8 oz 93%-lean ground beef
8 oz 99%-lean ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 10oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles, preferably Rotel brand
(see Shopping Tip) OR 1 1/4 cups petite-diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground chipotle chile OR 1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Place beef, turkey and onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium
heat. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked
through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain off fat.
Wipe out the pan. Return the meat to the pan and add tomatoes, cumin,
ground chipotle (or chili powder) and oregano. Cook over medium heat,
stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to
6 minutes.

TIP:
Look for Rotel brand diced tomatoes with green chiles—original or
mild, depending on your spice preference—and set the heat level with
either ground chipotle chile (adds smoky heat) or chili powder (adds
rich chili taste without extra spice).
MAKE AHEAD TIP:
Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat just before serving.
