Ingredients

For the turkey:

1 tablespoon olive, canola or vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced

For the bowls:

1 small head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
1 16 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 small tomatoes, diced
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 bag corn tortilla chips

Toppings (optional):

guacamole
salsa
sour cream
hot sauce

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey and cook, letting it sear undisturbed for a minute before breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned.
Add the bell pepper, taco seasoning, and salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the turkey is cooked through (165°F). Stir in the cilantro and lime juice, then remove from the heat.
Divide the lettuce among bowls. Top with the turkey, black beans, cheese, tomatoes, and a handful of chips.
Finish with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and/or hot sauce. Or set everything out in separate bowls and let everyone build their own.

Notes

Storage: The turkey filling keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days, so it's an easy one to make ahead for quick bowls during the week.
