Tacos???

So my husband always wants to eat tacos, and I always want to join him, but there is really nothing about his tacos that Eyla and I can eat! Beef, corn, tomatoes, sour cream, peppers etc.... so i have to come up with something each time.  Well this time, Eyla loved it, and ate multiple servings!!

It really does not look that appetizing, but it is really good!
Firstly we make our own taco seasoning, we found this recipe on allrecipies.com

1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
 
For the Tacos
1 pkg of ground turkey
3 cups cremini mushrooms,
1/2 one large spanish onion
1 tbsp taco seasoning
2 tbsp water
approx 12 cups of spinach (i used the whole package from costco)
 
for the Dressing
1 avacado
Juice of 1 lime
pinch of taco seasoning
cooked brown rice
 
Saute the onion and mushrooms with the turkey until brown.  Add the taco seasoning and water and let simmer for a minute. Add the spinach and heat on low heat until wilted. 
Meanwhile, mash avacado with lime and seasoning.
 
I used Nappa cabbage for the wraps but you can use anything.  So we put some rice on the cabbage, then the taco mixture and topped with avacado.
 
I know that some may not be able to have avacado, so I tried it without and it definately needs a squeeze of citrus, whether it is lime or lemon, they both work.
 
I hope you enjoy it!
