Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey to the pan. Break turkey apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks until it’s almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turkey should still be a little bit pink.
- Add diced onion and peppers to the skillet and continue to cook everything until vegetables are softened and turkey is fully cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in taco seasoning packet and ⅓ cup of water (or the amount of water as directed on the taco seasoning package). Stir in drained black beans and chopped cilantro. Add more water if needed. Simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring frequently.
- Top with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sliced avocado, jalapeños, sour cream, Greek yogurt, or green onion. See notes below for serving suggestions.
