Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 pound ground turkey (lean)
1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 bell pepper (large, diced)
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
0.5 cup vegetable broth
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
12 tortillas
1 cup salsa (for serving)
0.5 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for serving)

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat. Add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the diced bell pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the rinsed and drained black beans. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Warm the tortillas according to package directions while the turkey mixture simmers.
Serve the turkey and black bean filling in warm tortillas, topped with salsa and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat the filling and serve with fresh tortillas and toppings.
