Happy Sans Gluten Valentine's Day!!!

Valentine's Day is on a Monday this year so my hubby and I decided to stay low key by having dinner at home. One of our favorite dishes is turkey tacos. Super quick, delicious and sans gluten. I wanted to spice things up and get creative so I decided to make Turkey Taco burgers. Whenever I make taco I always mix the essential spices myself because a lot of the pre-made taco seasoning mixes have flour or some type of wheat derivatives in them. Argh!

The essentials spices I love to use for tacos are:
-Paprika
-Cumin
-Red pepper flakes
-Garlic powder
-Ground red (Cayenne) and black pepper

Instead of adding these spices to the ground meat as it cooks, I mixed them first then incorporated them into the turkey meat and formed burgers. Feeling especially creative tonight I also added in some mashed chickpeas. I thought black beans would have been delicious too but they weren't in the pantry.

As far as I'm concerned tacos are never complete without some guacamole! To 3 avocados I added some cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder and lemon juice. Yum!!!
