Ingredients
- 2 tsp. olive oil (10g) 10g
- 1 medium onion (200g) chopped
- 1 lb. ground turkey 93/7
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 16-oz jar chunky salsa
- 3/4 cup frozen corn (96g)
- 1 15-oz. can black beans rinsed & drained
- 32 large yellow tortilla chips ~4 oz.
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese (112g) more if desired
- Optional for serving: Chopped cilantro, pickled red onions, diced avocado, lime wedges, sour cream, etc.
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey. Cook, using a meat masher or wooden spoon to break it into small crumbles, until browned.
- Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the salsa, corn, and black beans. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3–5 minutes, until everything is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Lightly crumble the tortilla chips over the turkey, then sprinkle the cheese evenly over the chips. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Alternatively, place the skillet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden.
- Remove from heat. Finish with chopped cilantro, pickled red onions and diced avocado, if desired. Squeeze fresh lime juice over top just before serving, and enjoy!
Notes
- Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
- Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. If reheating in a skillet, you may want to add a splash of water or extra salsa to loosen the mixture.
- Freeze: You can freeze the turkey taco mixture without the chips and cheese for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before adding fresh chips and cheese.
