Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground turkey or beef
  • 1 can fire roasted tomatoes 
  • 1 packet spicy taco seasoning 
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1/2 cup fire roasted corn
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 handfuls tortilla chips to crush on top
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup red onion
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 jalapeño, diced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2-3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp hot sauces
  • 1 avocado optional

Instructions
 

  • On the stove, heat up a large skillet for a few minutes on medium heat. Add in your ground turkey or beef and cook fully through (strain fat if needed).
  • Add in 1 can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and 1 packet of taco seasoning, mix well.
  • Add in strained and rinsed black beans and corn and mix again. Top with shredded cheese. Cover your pan and set heat to low until cheese is melted.
  • In the mean time, chop your cherry tomatoes, red onion and cilantro and mix in a small bowl, add a pinch of salt and set aside.
  • In a small dish, mix sour cream, water, and hot sauce to make a drippy, spicy sour cream. Set aside.
  • Thinly slice 1/2 your jalapeño into thin rounds. Once your cheese is melted on your dish, remove from heat. Top with crushed tortilla chips, shredded lettuce, pico de Gallo, jalapeños, and then drizzle with sour cream and top with avocado if you’d like! Enjoy!
