Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 15 ounces canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 pieces flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
• 0.5 cup salsa (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with the spices.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the black beans to the skillet. Stir until well combined and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

Step 8

To assemble each burrito, place about 1/2 cup of the turkey and bean mixture into the center of a tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of cilantro (if using), and a dollop of sour cream or salsa if desired.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy, or wrap in foil for a convenient on-the-go meal.
