Hey hi hello. Me again, coming at ya with yet another ONE SKILLET dish. One that will most certainly knock your socks off– One Pan Turkey Taco Orzo Skillet.
Is there anyone out there that doesn’t like orzo or Mexican food? I combined the two today because they are honestly two of my favorite things at the moment. I’ve always loved Mexican food, but recently (in the last year or so) re-discovered my love for Orzo. And as you probably know by now, I also LOVE easy, simple meals. Make it one-pan– forgettaboutit!
This Turkey Taco Orzo Skillet is seriously good and super simple. It’s also amazing because it only requires about 25 minutes of your time and it’s one the entire family will love! Perfect for those hectic weeknights. Also perfect for meal prep because it keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days, so you can enjoy throughout the week if you so desire. I hope you love!!!
