Recipe:

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil or butter, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

Step 2: Add the ground turkey, beef, and sausage and cook, stirring, until the meat is browned.

Step 3: Add the scallions, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, seasoned salt, pepper, Tabasco, cayenne, jalapeño, and orange juice and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Remove the skillet from the heat and serve.

Step 5: To prepare the tacos, lay out the taco shells, tortillas, and condiments (chopped tomatoes, lettuce, onions, guacamole, shredded cheese, and sour cream) and let guests assemble their own.
