Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb. 93%-fat-free ground turkey
1 Tbsp. TACO BELL® Reduced Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix
2 fresh jalapeño peppers, divided
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 orange pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 can (15.5 oz.) black beans, drained
1 can (14.5 oz.) fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies
9 oz. VELVEETA, cut into 1/2" cubes
1/2 cup red salsa
8 (6-inch) white corn tortillas
1 bunch fresh cilantro, for garnish
2 avocados, pitted and thinly sliced, for serving
1/4 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream, for serving
2 limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a 9-x-9" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a high-sided sauté pan over medium high heat, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add ground turkey, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 min. Stir in taco seasoning mix; cook 1 min. Using a slotted spoon, remove ground turkey to a plate.
  • Seed and finely chop 1 jalapeño. In the same pan, add remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil, chopped jalapeño, onion and orange pepper. Season with black pepper and cook about 3 to 4 min. Add in black beans and roasted tomatoes and stir until combined. Stir in ground turkey. Check seasoning and remove from heat.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add VELVEETA and microwave on HIGH for 1 min. Remove from microwave and stir in salsa. Set aside until ready to build.
  • In the baking dish, add 4 tortillas. Next, add ½ of the turkey mixture and drizzle with ½ of the salsa mix. Add another layer of 4 tortillas, the remaining turkey mixture, and rest of the salsa and bake for 25 min.
  • Thinly slice remaining jalapeño. Remove taco bake from oven and top with jalapeño, cilantro, avocados, and sour cream. Serve with lime wedges.
