“Though I’m not a native of San Antonio, I do enjoy the spicy local flavor,” Pattie McGlinchey says from Texas. “Bean-and-corn turkey tacos are my 5-year-old’s favorite. I love that they’re a cinch to put together and healthy, too…but don’t tell that to my son!”
Ingredients:
1-1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
5 plum tomatoes, chopped, divided
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
8 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat mexican cheese blend, divided
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook turkey and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add half of the tomatoes. Stir in the water, paprika, cumin, chili powder and salt. Add beans and corn; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until heated through.
2. Place about 1/2 cup turkey mixture down the center of each tortilla; top with 1 tablespoon cheese. Fold sides of tortilla over filling. Serve with green onions, cilantro and remaining tomatoes and cheese. Yield: 8 servings.
