Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion (diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 Large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the turkey with the spices.
Add the black beans and salsa to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through and combine flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the turkey and black bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream (if using), and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro (optional).
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a grab-and-go option. Enjoy!
