OH, TO LIVE ON...
Taco Mountain (Seattle PI, 8/06/08)
3 pounds ground turkeyPosted by Orrin Judd at August 6, 2008 3:29 PM2 1-ounce packets taco seasoning
2 9-ounce bags tortilla chips
2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1 16-ounce jar salsa
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 small head of lettuce, chopped or shredded
In a very large (preferably nonstick) skillet, cook turkey, stirring often to break up pieces (if it is sticking to the pan, add a little oil.) Add taco seasoning to taste and stir well to combine. Cook until no trace of pink remains.
On a very large platter, make a layer of chips. Top with cooked turkey, cheese, salsa to taste, tomatoes and lettuce.
I find that I never enjoy turkey in Mexican food nearly as much as ground or shredded beef.

Unless it's an entire turkey breast braised in red mole.
Beef or pork baby.
Of course this is a gringo recipe anyways. Man, am I going to miss real Mexican food once I leave Chicago.

Posted by: oj at August 6, 2008 7:56 PMIs Jim in Chicago going to be Jim in Skokie or Jim in Downer's Grove now? You can't get good Mexican food in the suburbs.

Posted by: Jim in Chicago at August 7, 2008 8:13 AMI'm not sure the Yankees playing in your basement could redeem Binghamton. But you are close to Colgate...
Posted by: oj at August 7, 2008 11:48 AMBasement? Thanks to the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers most Binghamton basements flood too often for baseball.
