Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 12 taco shells (crunchy or soft)

Instructions

Creating Crispy Baked Ground Turkey & Black Bean Tacos is simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, approximately 5-7 minutes.
5. Season: Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the taco seasoning and black beans. Mix until well combined and heated through.
6. Prepare Taco Shells: Place taco shells in a baking dish, standing them upright if possible.
7. Fill Taco Shells: Spoon the turkey and black bean mixture evenly into each taco shell.
8. Bake: Place the filled taco shells in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the shells are crispy and golden.
9. Add Toppings: Carefully remove the tacos from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy with sour cream if desired!
