Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb Ground Turkey
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 small Yellow Onion, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles
  • 1 cup Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Frozen Corn Kernels
  • 1 cup Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Avocado, diced
  • Sour Cream for topping

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes until fully browned and no pink remains. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the turkey and stir well. Pour in the diced tomatoes with green chiles and stir to combine everything.
  • Add the black beans and corn kernels. Stir and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors come together and the liquid reduces slightly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Remove from heat and top with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve straight from the skillet.
