White People Taco Night: A Funny but True Classic 🌮

A Funny but True Taco Tuesday Tradition

Let’s be real: for many families, Taco Tuesday has always meant crispy taco shells, seasoned ground turkey (or beef), shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomato. It’s not the most authentic Mexican taco—but it is nostalgic, delicious, and honestly, kind of perfect. That’s why so many people jokingly call it “White People Taco Night.” Funny but true—it’s the taco we grew up on, and it still hits the spot.

Pair these with our Kiwi Margarita and you’ve got a fresh twist on a familiar favorite!

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade mix: chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper)
• 2/3 cup water
• 10 flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
• Sour cream (optional)
• Salsa (optional)

Instructions

• Cook the Turkey
• In a large skillet, cook ground turkey over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess liquid.
• Season It Up
• Add taco seasoning and water to the turkey. Stir and let simmer until the mixture thickens and the flavors meld, about 5 minutes.
• Warm tortillas
• Assemble the Tacos
• Spoon seasoned ground turkey into each shell.
• Top with shredded cheese, crisp lettuce, and diced tomato.
• Add sour cream or salsa if you like.
• Serve & Enjoy
