Turkey-Chipotle Soft Tacos
Amy Michaels of Seattle developed this recipe to use canned chipotle chilies she had bought during a family visit to Santa Fe. Although Michaels's husband loves traditional tacos, the nutrition-conscious couple particularly enjoy this version, which uses fresh kale from their garden in addition to ground turkey flavored with garlic, chili powder, cumin, and tomato. Michaels serves the tacos with a chopped cabbage salad and black beans.
