Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 green or red bell peppers diced
- 4 turkey burgers
- 1 packet taco seasoning of choice
- 1 tbsp hot sauce optional
- 14.5 ounces fire roasted tomatoes drained
- 14.5 ounces black beans rinsed and drained
- 14.5 ounces corn rinsed and drained
- 5 ounces green chilies drained
- 2 cups cheddar cheese or monterrey jack or other cheese of choice
- 2 green onions chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add in diced yellow onion and peppers and saute’ until veggies soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add in ground turkey burgers and cook according to package directions. Spray each burger with non-stick cooking spray. Place in a skillet heated to medium-high for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until cooked through. As the burgers are finishing up on the second side, use a spatula to break the burgers into small pieces. Alternatively, you could use ground turkey.
- To the pan add in one packet taco seasoning of choice, 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional) 2/3 cup water, fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, corn, and chiles. Add in cooked peppers and onion. Stir to combine. Reduce heat and simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover until cheese has melted. Alternatively, you could turn your broiler on high, and transfer your oven-safe skillet to the broiler to melt the cheese for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or tortilla chips.
