Preparation

Taco seasoning

Place chilli powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, cumin seeds, sea salt, chilli flakes and peppercorns into mixing bowl and mill 1 min/speed 10, until a fine powder. Transfer into a sealable container and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Salsa

Place tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, lime juice and salt into mixing bowl and chop 4 sec/speed 5. Transfer into a sealable container and place into refrigerator until ready to serve.

Turkey salad bowl

Place a frying pan over medium heat and add oil. Add mince and 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved Taco seasoning and fry for approx. 5 minutes or until cooked. Divide turkey, corn, black beans, cheese, lettuce, avocado and reserved Salsa between bowls and serve (see Tips).

Tips & Tricks

For a milder Taco seasoning, omit or reduce the amount of dried chilli flakes and/or peppercorns.
You can store the Taco seasoning in the pantry for up to 6 months.
The cooked mince and corn can be placed into freezable containers and frozen. Simply thaw and add remaining ingredients. Perfect for quick, easy lunches!
Add some cooked brown rice for a fibre-rich dish.
To grate your own cheddar cheese, grate 10-15 sec/speed 5.
