  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sour cream, avocado, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onion softens.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn, and salsa. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier skillet, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño with the onion.
  • You can use ground chicken or beef instead of turkey.
  • Serve with warm tortillas, tortilla chips, or over rice.
