sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

1

Add the vegetable oil to a 12-inch skillet and place it over MEDIUM heat.

2

Add the ground turkey and bell pepper and cook, stirring to break up the ground turkey, until it is thoroughly cooked.

3

Drain the excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.

4

Add the taco seasoning and Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes. Reduce the heat to LOW, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid from the diced tomatoes has been absorbed or cooked off.

5

Add the black beans and frozen corn. Cover and simmer for about 5 more minutes, or until the beans and corn are warmed through.
