A simple dinner ready in less than 20 minutes?
YES, PLEASE.
Friends, these turkey tacos have been our favorite recently.
Back in early July before Finn arrived, I had bought a pineapple to devour, hoping it would help me go into labor. My plan was to simply eat it on its own, but then Drew suggested throwing into our turkey taco meat.
At first I said, “No that’s weird…” thinking he was just making up some crazy concoction… but pregnancy brain is a real thing and I realized adding pineapple to tacos, is in fact, a real (normal) thing.
And seriously delicious!
