High-fat grass-fed beef plus low-fat turkey makes for a flavorful but balanced taco meat. Rounded out with two kinds of salsa, sweet onion, and pinto beans. The salsa includes enough spice that you don't have to use the standard "taco seasoning" packet, which keeps the sodium level under control. But don't leave out the cumin, for the true Mexican flavor.

What Are The Ingredients For Chipotle Beef and Turkey Taco Filling Recipe?

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 lb 85/15 grass-fed ground beef
1.2 lb 93/7 ground turkey
3 cans pinto beans, drained
1 jar chipotle garlic salsa
1/2 tub (7 ounces) fresh pico de gallo

Note: Potassium is important when you're skipping carbs like rice, tortillas and tortilla chips. Unfortunately, it seems the potassium content isn't included in these ingredients, so for the sake of completeness, here are some estimates:

A 1/2 cup serving would include about 1 ounce of ground beef and more than an ounce of ground turkey. Between the two there's about 150mg of potassium in a serving from the meat alone. Add about 260mg from about 2.6 ounces of pinto beans for a total of 410mg of potassium in a serving. (If you leave out the beans, that will eliminate most of the carbohydrates in the taco meat, but also a good deal of the potassium.)
