Turkey Taco Quinoa Skillet

We make this all the time. Super easy and yummy

We absolutely LOVED this!! Had to sub rice because I didn’t have the quinoa like I thought. Still came out amazing. I won’t ever be able to make regular Old El Paso tacos out of the box again.

Delish and easy. Kids will eat it. On my regular rotation!

Very flavorful and easy to make!

My 2 year old wouldn't eat it. I didn't even make it spicy

So I made this using 1 pound of ground turkey. Bc of that, the recipe called for two cans of everything, which I bought, but only ended up using 1 can of each bc it was plenty. I will say when I first cooked the meat with the onions, garlic, and a salt sprinkle, I tasted it and it was super salty, so I was like oh Chucks! But, after I added everything else and the water, the saltiness leveled out. I didn't use as much of the spices either. Not a huge fan of cumin or Chilli powder. Used 1 tsp of cumin and .5 tsp of chili powder. Personal preference and it was just enough. I probably would have preferred to use less than one cup of quinoa as well, but it wasnt the worse. Overall easy to make. We served it on soft flour tortillas with avocado, salsa, and sour cream. My family enjoyed it, although they felt it had too much quinoa. My husband and I didn't mind it.

Very good. I made it in the instant pot. 11 minute pressure cook time worked well for the quinoa.

We added lettuce and turned it into salads and burritos. It tasted yummy!

Made burritos with this. Very good

This came out so amazing! Added a little bit of lite sour cream on the side. Will definitely be making again.

Loved this recipe, may make it with 1/3 cup quinoa and 1 cup of corn next time.

So good and not too bad on the calories. Definitely will make this a regular staple. Next time I might put it in some lettuce wraps.

Quick and easy.

Not difficult to make, but probably not a go-to meal for us.

Turned out great, but I will probably just use a pre-made taco seasoning mix next time. This was a little too spicy for me (so I just added more cheese!)

Didn have coooorn, so i used beans and carrot for a sweete flavour

Used regular pork sausage and was really great!

Good

I used Cajun spices instead of the posted ones

I didn't use turkey. I made it vegetarian

Tastes great! I used salt-free diced tomatoes, black beans, and reduced the salt.

Increase serving to use 500gm of turkey mince and one whole tin of black beans.

Doubled the ingredients; added half a serano pepper to give it a bit more kick. Fat & easy to make and even better to eat.

Just be forewarned you need a big pot lol

Used 1lb ground beef and 1 cup quinoa, doubled the water. Everyone loved it.

Quinoa was barely noticeable. Kids loved. Didn't have chili peppers so substituted yellow pepper and hot sauce.

It was a good quick meal to put together.

8.4 / 10 - Super Tasty meal, made veggie by switching Turkey for Quorn Mince and also adding an Avocado and sour cream dip on top. :)

Will definitely be putting this in our regular meal rotation! We are it as is but may try it over lettuce. 10/10

Again because i can't follow a recipe: I used ground chicken, I used two cans of Rotella and a giant scoop of salsa, I didn't add as much cumin or chili powder, I didn't trust the quinoa would bloom so I added a cup of water and cooked it for an extra 15 mins, I also used a whole bag of frozen corn instead of just a cup. Topped with Colby jack cheese and sour cream. Served with chips. My son ate two full servings.

Doubled turkey out of convenience. My family devoured it and there was barely leftovers because they loved it!

Fed my hungry family of four with some leftover. Also, delicious!! It was great in the keto roasted tomatoe mini tortillas AND just over fresh spinach (my preference!)

Used brown rice, bell peppers, and gochujang as substitutes. Think it turned out pretty well!

We used it as nacho topping! Great flavor!

Used fresh Thai Chilli peppers. Spicy but great!

Added 4 Oz. can of diced jalapeños instead of the green chilies for some more heat

Very good! Definitely need some tortillas chips!

I really like this! However, I didn't put as many tomatoes or any chilies in. My husband has a sensitive stomach. I put it in multi-grain Flatbread.

It's really good,it has alot of flavor. I didn't have black beans though.

Didn’t have salsa or diced tomato so ended up using extra veg (diced carrot&celery, riced cauliflower) with crushed tomatoes, then had to swap the quinoa for couscous but still so good! Next time leave cheese out and add on later if wanted

This recipe is seriously amazing. So flavorful! I used a little splash of olive oil to sauté the onions vs a cooking spray as I try to limit using those due to chemicals. The ground turkey I bought was also a little less lean just due to a much better deal at the store. My toddler and preteen and husband loved it too. This is definitely going into rotation. Nice to have something easy to make taste so good!

I doubled the recipe and since I didn't have a skillet that was big enough, I put everything in the Instant Pot.

Doubled the recipe and glad I did! So fresh tasting, filling (high in fiber).

Really delicious. Ate it as tacos. Made in one pot too, so easy clean up.

This was amazing! Loved it. Would be even better topped with fresh lettuce. Will definitely make again.

Tasty! Made it with ground beef and will try the next time with ground turkey or chicken. The recipe didn't really create 6 servings, would rather say 4. Really great in a taco or maybe a burrito?

This was great! Husband put it on tortillas, I put it in lettuce wraps and we both had some on the side on its own. I don't know that salsa was needed, but fresh cilantro definitely brightens it up. Will definitely make this again and next time will use the whole pound of turkey... because it's always sold in a pound and more meat can't be a bad thing.

I used only monterey jack, and fresh corn instead of frozen. Used a whole pound of ground turkey. Skipped the oven. added a tsp of oregano and goya adobo seasoning to the spice mix. I think next time I'll triple the quinoa and use less turkey.

We liked it worked well. Used 1lbs turkey and canned corn. Put on corn tortillas with cole slaw.

Doubled this recipe and only used 1 can of black beans. Also subbed rotel for the tomatoes and green chilies and rice for the quinoa, because that's what I had.😅 It was SO DELICIOUS!!!

Makes 4 serves not 6

This was so damn good. I couldn’t even take a picture of it!!

My husband and I both really liked this meal! It was easy and quick enough to be a weeknight meal. We served it over hint of lime tortilla chips; though, it would have been great in tortillas for tacos or as a filling for lettuce wraps. Excellent one-dish, very versatile, meal!

This is a great "pantry" recipe. Any ground meat that you have on hand will work, and the other ingredients are probably in your well-maintained pantry. I might try it in the future with another grain like farro or freekah.

Super simple and filling! Pretty healthy as well. Used ground beef instead of Turkey because that’s what we had on hand. Topped with guacamole, nonfat plain Greek yogurt, cilantro, hot sauce and served with tortilla chips on the side. Pro tip: use tortilla chips instead of a spoon 😋

Yummy. Cooked it in my Dutch oven. Added more of the seasonings, corn, salsa and 1lb of Turkey (instead of 1/2lb). Used Harmony Quinoa. Came out great! Had some leftovers for breakfast with fresh avocado & queso fresco 🙂

This is delicious. I made it with beef instead of turkey and used a taco packet instead of the seasonings. Put it on top of rice and of course a pile of cilantro on top of that.

Really good !

Delicious. Will definitely make again but next time add a little more salt

Substituted beef. Simmered for a lot longer. Tasted pretty good!

Found it to be a tad bland so I added a bit more salt. Had over a bed of lettuce and added cherry tomatoes, sour cream and jalapeños along with the cilantro as garnish. A+ overall

Best meal I've had on whisk it had loads of flavour.

Put over some chips to make it go farther. Loved this! Great flavor!

We used rice and doubled the recipe!

I would add a lb of turkey next time!

I used rice instead of quinoa, not really a fan of quinoa. It was delicious. The flavor was fantastic, I used a taco seasoning packet instead of all the seasonings ( the exact same thing) i also cooked it a little longer on the skillet then the 25 minutes, to cook down more of the water and keep all the flavor. It was great and my family loved it!

My family really liked this! It was easy to throw it all in the skillet to cook. I actually doubles the recipe for lunch leftovers.

Overall, this recipe is a C-. If you use a better spice combo and add some fresh onion or other crunch, you can probably bring it up to a B-.

I added diced red bell pepper, 1 diced white onion, 1 pound turkey, a little extra spices and medium salsa. I used chopped green onions on top instead of cilantro because that's what I had. It was tasty. will probably make again.

my bf and I make this recipe so much! I mix it up a lot- I don't always add cilantro, haven't had it with quinoa, and sometimes I just use regular canned tomatoes instead of fire roasted- all turn out delicious! I love adding a lot of fresh veggies and things like tomatoes, avocado, green onions, sour cream, etc! We also like to eat it with naan warmed up with butter on it. I typically use whatever cheese I have on hand- which is usually either cheddar or mozzarella! Seriously super easy and delicious! great for summer too, 'cause no oven!

I added an additional 1 tsp of medium chili pepper, also spicy red salsa. IP for 1 minute, NR for 10 minutes.

Double for a great family dinner plus leftovers.

Good over romaine lettuce

I loved this one - I ate it as a bowl but it would be good with tortillas or chips. I used a pound of turkey but I did double the cumin and chili powder.

Tasted just like a burrito bowl. it was good but nothing special. instead of simmering on stove I baked in the oven for 10-15. I would make again.
