Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 1 15-ounce can black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1.5 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lime lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for 5-7 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked turkey and stir to coat well.
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (with juices) and stir to combine.
Add the black beans and frozen corn to the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve hot, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Pair with tortilla chips, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
