Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Turkey 92%
  • .5 can Black Beans

  • Cilantro garnish

Toppings

  • 1 Avocado
  • Mexican Shredded Cheese
  • Greek Yogurt great sub for sour cream
  • Pico De Gallo
  • Romaine Boats you can find these pre packaged by the salad. Long pieces of romaine that look like boats

Instructions
 

  • Heat up your skillet to medium heat and spray non stick. Add your ground turkey and saute for about 5 minutes.
  • Add your taco seasoning, 1/3 cup of water and the tomato paste. Mix well
  • Add beans, corn and lime juice. Mix well and let it saute for about 2 minutes. If your turkey is drying out, add a little bit of water or chicken/beef broth. You want it to maintain moisture always.
