I have literally never met someone who did not enjoy tacos. Not one person on earth hears ‘tacos are for dinner’ and doesn’t JUMP FOR JOY! But the best way to have tacos is this yummy camping recipe!
After a long day of snorkeling, hiking, or maybe just hanging at the beach with a cold drink in your hand, there’s nothing better than sitting down to a delicious meal. A delicious tex-mex fiesta in your mouth, if you choose our 1-pan turkey tacos!
It is yummy. It is inexpensive to prepare. And because it is all prepped in 1 pan, it is SO easy to clean up! We are talking 5-10 minutes of cleanup time, people!
Without further ado, it is taco time.
