• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion (diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until softened.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the black beans and salsa to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through and combine flavors.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 8

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 9

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the turkey and black bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.

Step 10

Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream (if using), and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro (optional).
