Clean Eating Turkey, Corn & Black Bean Tacos

I like to think that there is someone else out there who loves turkey mince as much as I do. We never ever ate turkey mince growing up, in fact I had never heard of turkey mince until I was about 21 but now it is something I buy every week and I absolutely love it.

I love that it is so inexpensive, so versatile and such a great source of lean protein. If you have tried cooking turkey mince before and been put off there is a chance you may have been caught out in breaking the Turkey Mince Rule.

This is a rule that I live and swear by. Turkey Mince Rule – When I buy turkey thigh mince, I always buy the longest use by date possible and then use it within 2 days of buying it. Preferably on the 1st day. I don’t know why, but turkey thigh mince seems to turn really quickly, in my experience it is often off before it’s use by date or sometimes within about 3 days of sitting in the fridge. So try it again and keep the Turkey Mince Rule!

This is a brilliant bulked out recipe, perfect for when you need your meal to stretch a little further. It is sweet and spicy and filled with exciting textures. I made some of my wholewheat tortilla wraps to serve ours with but it would always be really yummy with some wholegrain rice, salad and homemade guacamole.
