Tacos are a must-have at any Cinco de Mayo fiesta.  These are made on the lighter side with ground turkey instead of beef or pork.  Serve these tacos with margaritas, rice, and beans.
Taco Tapas

1 pound of lean ground turkey (or your preferred meat alternative)
	2 teaspoons chili powder

Directions:
Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and put over medium heat. Place protein of choice in pan. Add all the other ingredients, sauté to warm and combine flavors. Stir and break up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the meat is browned. Set aside.
