Instructions
Creating Crispy Baked Ground Turkey & Black Bean Tacos is easy and straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Once the turkey is cooked, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
4. Season the Mixture: Stir in the taco seasoning, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
5. Add Black Beans: Gently fold in the black beans, allowing them to warm up with the turkey mixture for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Assemble Tacos: Spoon the turkey and bean mixture into each taco shell, filling them generously.
7. Bake the Tacos: Place the filled taco shells on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the shells are crispy and golden.
8. Prepare Toppings: While the tacos are baking, prepare your toppings: wash and chop the lettuce, tomatoes, and any other desired toppings.
9. Serve: Remove the tacos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each taco with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and any additional toppings you prefer.
10. Garnish: Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, sprinkle fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
