The Yummiest: Dino's Oven Tacos + Avocado Lime Crema

Let me just start by saying...Foxi has excellent taste in food and she is a HUGE fan of these oven tacos! This is actually a fan favorite in the Petrone house and so simple - makes for a great weeknight dinner! You need very little - both ingredients and time - to pull this deliciousness off, so we thought we would share how!

Ingredients:

Hard taco shells

1 lb ground turkey or ground beef

1/2 can refried beans

1/2 can tomato sauce

1 8 oz can of green chilis

1/2 packet taco seasoning (or make your own!)

Taco toppin's - whatever your heart desires!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Start by browning your meat in a skillet. Once completed cooked, drain any access fat.

3. Mix in refried beans, tomato sauce and the green chilis.

3. Add taco seasoning. I use 1/2 a packet of Trader Joe’s taco seasoning but you can make your own too!

4. Warm for 5-10 min until all heated through.

5. Fill hard taco shells with mixture and stack in a large baking dish.

6. Top them all with cheese and bake uncovered for 10 min.

7. Add your favorite toppings and of course Dino's Avocado Lime Crema (recipe below!) for extra delish yumminess!

This Avocado Lime Crema is so good I could drink it! It's amazing with chips, on eggs, slathered on steak and the perfect finishing touch to these oven tacos!
Ingredients: 2 avocados 8 ounces of sour cream 1 - 3 jalapeños (based on desired spice) 2 tablespoons of garlic bunch of cilantro 6 limes, juiced salt (I prefer @redmondrealsalt on everything and yes, I think it matters)
Directions:

Toss everything into a blender, blend on high until smooth.
Taste at the end and if needed add more lime, salt to taste
Lather on all the things and do a happy dance - and make another batch because you are going to want more!
