instructions
    1

    Begin by dicing the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    3

    Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

    4

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

    5

    Add 1 pound of turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, roughly 8-10 minutes.

    6

    Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon each of cumin and chili powder, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    7

    Cook for an additional 5 minutes for the flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.

    8

    While the filling is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.

    9

    Spoon equal amounts of the turkey and bean mixture into the center of each tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

    10

    Wrap the tortillas tightly and serve immediately, or place them seam-side down in a baking dish.

    11

    If desired, bake the burritos in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp the tortillas.
