Description

A quick one-pan dinner packed with black beans, spinach, salsa, and bold taco flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces chunky salsa
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  2. Add the onion, tomato paste, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion softens and the spices become fragrant.
  3. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. The turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  4. Stir in the sweet potatoes, black beans, and salsa until evenly combined.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
  6. Remove the lid and stir in the baby spinach until wilted.
  7. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top and cover for 2 to 3 minutes until melted.
  8. Remove from heat and let the skillet rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Serve warm topped with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime wedges.

Notes

  • Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes so they cook quickly and evenly in the skillet.
