Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis (10 ounces)
- 1 can black beans (15 ounces) drained
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 3/4 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
- Green onions sliced, for garnish
- Sour cream for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it starts to brown.
- Once the turkey is partially cooked, add the diced onion. Keep cooking until the onion becomes tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir the prepared spice mix into the meat mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Continue cooking the meat, stirring occasionally, until it's fully cooked with no pink remaining, about 3-4 more minutes.
- Once the meat is fully cooked, add the diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained black beans, and frozen corn. Stir well and let the mixture heat through for about 3-4 minutes.
- Adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Stir in 1/2 cup of cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. If desired, cover for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
- Remove from heat and add the green onions. Serve immediately with sour cream if you like.
