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.
- 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 or store bought refried beans make a great side dish.

This is AMAZING!!!!!!!! My family loves it.
nice recipe
amazing
I love this
The chipotle turkey taco filling is absolutely delish, especially accompanied with the yellow pico del gallo and cotija cheese ! Everyone in my family has now adopted this recipe…sorry Old ElPaso. LOL
This is DELISH! We make the turkey/chipotle filling & the yellow tomato pico de gallo. Then just add spanish rice, organic refried beans, and fresh sliced avocado! SO SO good!
No more taco mix packets for us. Made this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic! We only made the turkey filling – this was a taco bar for two. Looking forward to the leftovers for tomorrow. This was very quick, easy, and yummolicious.
I made the taco filling with ground beef instead of turkey because my grocery store didn’t have any ground turkey at the time, and the picco. The tacos were so good! A great change from the usual taco seasoning. Thank you Rachael, we love your shows.
