Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound ground turkey or ground top round
1 cup onion -- diced
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup green chiles -- diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey or ground round and
sear over medium heat until browned, without stirring, about 5-6 minutes.
(If using beef, pour off all fat.) Add the onion, garlic, chili powder and
oregano and stir to break up clumps of meat. Saute until the onion s fully
cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the
tomato sauce and chiles. Simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated,
about 5-8 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Fills 8 tacos or 8 enchiladas.
