Too many Taco Tuesday alternatives up my sleeve... so here's anothaaa! Quick and easy with lean protein and a fresh salsa make this a go-to recipe in my household.
What you'll need:
ground turkey
seasoning: 2 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprika, 1/2 tbsp salt and pepper to taste
canned organic black beans (reduced sodium)
canned organic sweet corn
canned chickpeas or garbanzo beans
mixed greens
For the fresh salsa: cherry tomatoes, red onions, lime, cilantro, jalapeño
Let's make it!
Make the salsa first to get it out of the way:
In a food processor, throw in cherry tomatoes, half of a red onion (sliced), half jalapeño (deseeded), a bundle of cilantro, squeeze one full lime, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt & pepper -- blend/chop and set aside
Put oven on broil setting (low-medium is fine)
Drain the chickpeas and corn, pat dry, and place on cooking sheet together; coat with olive oil, paprika and salt. Place under the broiler for about 10 minutes - until the chickpeas are browned
Drain the black beans and set aside
Brown the ground turkey in a cast iron on medium-high heat in olive oil; once slightly cooked add the seasoning (2 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprika, 1/2 tbsp salt and pepper to taste); finish browning the turkey and drain excess liquid; set aside
Heat black beans in sauce pan (nothing added) on low heat. Remove chickpeas/corn from oven and add to the pan with the black beans; stir to combine; add a squeeze of lime; remove from heat
Assemble bowl:
mixed greens
