Alternative to Taco Bell ; Eat at Home Ground Turkey Tacos

Taco Bell's been in the news lately.  (My wife loves that stuff.) Urghhhhh.....have I mentioned how sad I think it is that a piece of beef in the US can contain only 40% beef and 60% bi-products and be called beef?  You won't find me using that cartlidge-ground-nose-pig tail-crap in my offerings, or in the stuff I eat at home!  So here is my recipe to keep the wife happy!
 

Taco Bell Alternative Recipe Wife Don't Know the Difference:

"Big Tomaters" and ground turkey, Big Fat Daddy style.

At home however we love to enjoy tacos that are healthier made with Ground Turkey or Ground Chicken.  A little chili powder while cooking and it tastes just like a good taco should.  We like to mix in the Taco Bell sauce (sold in the grocery store) while the meant is cooking to get the Taco-Bell-like taste.  Now you can fake out the wife, kids, mother in law, whatever into thinking she's getting grade A dog food ground meat when in fact it's healthier for her.

I like my tomatoes chunky and so we load it up.  Don't forget the lettuce, cheese and sour cream though!

DID YOU KNOW: 
Did you know Kirkwood (ground) Turkey in the individual pound roll is actually a 85/15 blend and contains 17grams of fat per 4 oz serving, (almost the same as most ground beef!) So it's better if you are going to buy ground turkey to try to find the 93-99% lean to avoid the extra fat content. Otherwise, you could buy a cut of leaner beef, or ground round and eat your tacos in moderation!

Big Fat Daddy's Texas Big Ass Burger

Classic Big Ass Texas Burger as shown by Big Fat Daddy's

At Big Fat Daddy's, everything is Texas Size aka "BIG".  Big portions so you don't have to worry about eating elsewhere.   Big so it fills you up, but not so big you feel bloated.  Enter our "Big Ass Texas Burger".  This starts with hand cut Ground Round or Angus grilled to perfection on a flat top grill so the fat runs out--what you are left with is the meat of the burger (and not the grease).  A Texas Burger is blended with our secret dry rub seasoning and topped with onions, peppers, (and we suggest bbq sauce.)   There's no such thing as lettuce and tomatoes on this burger.  You can see the love we have for our burgers on our youtube channel!  You are asking why no lettuce and tomatoes?   Truthfully, peppers may provide better health benefits for you!  Here's why:

Health Benefits of Peppers

All peppers are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K.

All peppers are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, but red peppers are simply bursting with them. Antioxidant vitamins A and C help to prevent cell damage, cancer, and diseases related to aging, and they support immune function. They also reduce inflammation like that found in arthritis and asthma. Vitamin K promotes proper blood clotting, strengthens bones, and helps protect cells from oxidative damage.
