Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup sweet corn, canned
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes.
Mix in the diced bell pepper and taco seasoning, stirring well to combine with the turkey.
Add black beans, sweet corn, and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Warm the flour tortillas either in a microwave for 30 seconds or on a dry skillet for about 1 minute each side.
Place a quarter of the turkey mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up from the bottom to create a burrito.
Serve each turkey burrito with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
