Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and set to medium heat. Add the ground turkey and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, breaking the meat with a wooden spoon as you go, for about 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil and garlic in the skillet. Once fragrant, add the diced onions and peppers and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.
  3. Add the black beans, tomatoes, corn, water and quinoa; stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in the Sazon seasoning and ground turkey. Taste and add more salt or seasoning to preference.
  5. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, whatever sounds good and enjoy!
