Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (93% lean)
• 2 cups Cooked quinoa
• 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Fresh salsa
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 medium Avocado, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (as a sour cream substitute)
• 1 whole Fresh lime, cut into wedges
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns.

Step 3

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the turkey, along with 2 tablespoons of water, and stir well to coat the meat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

While the turkey cooks, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Rinse and drain the black beans if using canned, chop the romaine lettuce, dice the avocado, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 5

To assemble the taco bowls, start by dividing the cooked quinoa evenly among 4 bowls.

Step 6

Top each bowl with a layer of romaine lettuce, followed by the seasoned ground turkey, black beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Add 1-2 tablespoons of fresh salsa to each bowl, followed by a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

Step 8

Optionally, add a squeeze of lime juice over the taco bowl for a fresh, tangy flavor.

Step 9

Season each bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein taco bowl!
