I made this recipe with ground turkey. It's always so good! I used Peppercorn Ranch and green salsa.

I've made this a few times now and it's always a hit! This time I made it with ground turkey and I also added some Mexican rice too.

If you don't have time to make the bowls just buy them at the store.I also prefer the catalina dressing. This depends on your taste though. Very good recipe.

I bought the shells already made up that way and just saved the paper cardboard for future use. Just break them down again to store.

My shells did not bend over the tin foil ball as much as I thought they would. I may have used too big of tin foil balls. I will certainly try this again.

The bowls are a little difficult to create, but the meal itself is incredibly good and filling!
