Turkey (or Chicken) Taco Bake

I found this in a TOH magazine and tried it out because I could clean out my fridge of a bunch of odds and ends. It ended up being a hit with my family so I'm posting it. I changed a few things from the original as I made with what I had on hand. This is easy, quick, cheap and, best of all, delicious! Show more
