Instructions: Chipotle Turkey Taco Filling: In a small skillet preheated over medium-high heat, add oil and turkey breast meat. Brown meat 2 or 3 minutes, then add onions and garlic. Cook onions and meat together for another 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chipotles, chili powder and tomato sauce. Season your filling with salt to your taste. Stir 1/2 cup water into your filling. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until ready to serve.

Pork and Bell Pepper Filling: Heat a small to medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and pork to hot pan. Break up pork as it browns, 2 to 3 minutes. Add peppers to the pork and season mixture with cumin, cayenne sauce, allspice, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to moderate and cook filling 5 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup water to the pork. Reduce heat to low to keep filling warm.

Yellow Pico de Gallo: Combine all Pico de Gallo ingredients in a small bowl and serve.

To assemble bar, arrange taco shells next to the stove top. Serve the fillings from the skillets they were cooked in. Place toppings in small dishes on opposite side of the stove top. Tex Mex Red Beans And Rice (see recipe) or store bought refried beans make a great side dish.

This recipe yields 10 tacos.
