Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
- Cooked rice or cauliflower rice as a base
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and prepare your vegetables by dicing, chopping, and rinsing as needed. Pre-cook rice or cauliflower rice and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Mix in red onion, bell pepper, black beans, and corn. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Start with a base of rice or cauliflower rice in each bowl. Top with the turkey mixture, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and shredded cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the top for added zest.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm. For best results, add fresh avocado and toppings just before serving to keep everything fresh.
- You can customize this recipe by swapping ground turkey with ground chicken or beef, or making it vegetarian with lentils or plant-based protein options.
