Ideas for Mexican food?!
Also, I cannot eat tomatoes, corn, or onions, which eliminates a lot of Mexican-style foods.
Does anyone have any suggestions for quick meals I can make?
Ingredients I do have are: flour tortillas, ground turkey, black beans, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, red peppers, garlic, guacamole, and some green Tabasco sauce. I also have a lot of spices and seasonings on hand.
Thank you in advance!
Answers: I'm in the mood to have something Mexican (or at least Mexican-inspired) this week for dinner. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time, and I'm not feeling very creative right now--I can't seem to come up with anything other than the usual burritos.

I would brown the turkey, garlic and red peppers make tacos. You could keep the peppers raw if you like them crunchy and you can add beans or without and add cheese and everything else.
Or if the peppers are a bell pepper you could stuff them with the browned ground turkey and cooked beans and top with cheese, bake or microwave them. Add the Tabasco sauce and spices to your taste.
You could also warm up a tortilla and add guacamole and cheese and roll up and eat.
Or you could make a Mexican Pizza-toast the tortilla, add the cooked ground turkey & cooked garlic, add cooked beans (you can smash some up or make refried) and raw or cooked diced or strips of peppers and put cheese on top and put under the broiler until the cheese melts. Top with guacamole and green sauce. I guess you can top things with cilantro but I don't like it.
hold on ive got one...
Slow Cooker Mexican Style Meat
This recipe can be used with chicken, beef, pork and even venison. It freezes well, and can be made into burritos, tacos, or any number of other Mexican-style dishes. This dish uses a lot of spice, so please be sure to adjust to your taste.
1 (4 pound) chuck roast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbs olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/4 cups diced green chile pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 (5 ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Trim the roast of any excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place meat in hot skillet, and brown meat quickly on all sides.
2 Transfer the roast to a slow cooker, and sprinkle onion over meat. Season with chile peppers, chili powder, cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce, and garlic powder. Add enough water to cover 1/3 of the roast.
3 Cover, and cook on High for 6 hours, checking to make sure there is always at least a small amount of liquid in the bottom. Reduce heat to Low, and continue cooking for 2 to 4 hours, or until meat is totally tender and falls apart.
Servings: 12

Brown hamburger, add taco seasoning like making tacos,

kidney beans (drained) or black beans
black sliced olives,
White rice - cooked with taco seasoning in the water
and shredded cheese.
Bake in cassarole dish 30 min or so until hot... ( all items already pre cooked) Last few minutes, add more shredded cheese, and crushed tostito chips. Serve with sour cream and taco sauce. SOOOO good
Quesodilla's... just take your tortilla and fill it with cheese, meat of your choice and fold it up... wrap it in tin foil and cook it... either in a pan or a George foreman like grill.
Then eat with sour cream, you can cook the red peppers with garlic and add some Tabasco to eat on the side. Cook the beans and eat it all together
For something that doesn't take long yo could. . . .
1. Heat the turkey up and break it up to make it look like ground beef add salt, pepper, and other of those spices you have. Add a little olive oil if you wish.
2. Heat up some of those beans after you have rinsed them with water.
3. Chop up some of that cilantro
4. Before the ground turkey is fully cooked add some very finely chopped onion and garlic.
5. After the turkey is fully cooked and the onions turn opaque, prepare you taco in this order:
1. Flour tortilla
2. Ground meat
3. Beans
4. Cilantro
5. Shredded cheese
6. A little Guacamole and or Tabasco sauce and add other spices if you wish
This is the recipe to a leaner version of the Tex-Mex taco we know today in America! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Boil some oil and wrap ground turkey in the tortilla's and fry. Melt cheese, red peppers, guac in a bowl in the microwave for some dip.
Take the black beans and put them in a pot with 2 1/2 times the water as the beans. Add some bacon, oregano, Cumin (comino), and salt. Bring to a boil. Then simmer for 3 hours until beans are soft.
take the ground turkey and brown it in a pan. Add the red peppers cut up, chop the garlic and add, and the green Tabasco sauce and cook about 2 more minutes.
Heat some vegetable oil in a pan and when hot fry the tortillas one at a time for less than one minute turning once. They should still be soft. Fold them into taco shells.
Make tacos using the turkey, cilantro, and cheese. Have the beans as a side dish or add them to the tacos.
