Smothered Tacos

2 lbs ground turkey (or ground beef)
1 lg onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 packet Taco Seasoning
1-2 cans refried beans
Colby Jack Cheese
18-20 hard taco shells
1 can green enchilada sauce
Optional Condiments
lettuce
chopped tomatoes
avocado
mango salsa (can be purchased at Costco)
cilantro
sour cream

In a pan, brown the ground turkey with the onion and garlic. Add taco seasoning and mix well. Add tomato sauce and 1 can of refried beans. If you want more beans, add the second can. Mix well. Spoon mixture into taco shells and place into a 9x13 casserole dish, standing up. Sprinkle cheese and spoon/pour green enchilada sauce over the top of the tacos. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tacos are heated through. Remove from oven and add toppings of choice. 8-10 servings.
