Ground Turkey Cheesy Taco Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 15 oz crushed tomatoes
- 15 oz black beans drained
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese
Directions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 finely chopped onion.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, until it’s softened and caramelized.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds to release the aroma.
- Add the seasoning (1 tbsp chili powder, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper). Stir it for 30 seconds.
- When ready, add 1 pound ground turkey, break it into smaller pieces and cook for about 10 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
- Lower the heat to medium/low, stir in 15 oz crushed tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until it’s warmed up. The meat will absorb some of the liquid.
- Add 15 oz black beans and 1 cup frozen corn. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat.
- Add 1 ½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese and fold it in until it’s combined and melted.
- Top with chopped fresh onions, cilantro, avocado, and freshly squeezed lime juice to serve.
