2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 red onion, chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder, plus more to taste
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
One 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
8 to 12 bibb lettuce leaves
1 cup pico de gallo, recipe follows
2 avocados, diced
1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 limes cut into wedges
4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 small jalapeno, seeds removed and finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and season with salt and pepper. Cook the meat, breaking it up into very small pieces, until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
