Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey 97% lean
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 15 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 14.5 oz can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes
- ½ cup frozen corn
- ⅓ cup salsa
- ½ cup rinsed quinoa
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 Green onion for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- Spray a large skillet with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and minced garlic and cook until meat is cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook for another minute or so.
- Next add in the black beans, corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, salsa, and quinoa stirring until everything is combined.
- When the mixture starts to bubble, add in the water, cover the skillet with a lid and lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked. Make sure to stir every 5 minutes or so to keep quinoa from sticking to the pan.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and cover with the lid cooking until cheese is melted. Top with optional green onions. Serve as is or you can serve in tortillas or with tortilla chips if desired.
