How To Make Pioneer Woman Turkey Taco Skillet
- Prepare Tortillas: Lightly char the corn tortillas over an open flame on your stovetop burner. Let them cool, then tear them into large chunks. Set aside.
- Cook the Turkey: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and season with chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add Main Ingredients: Add the black beans, salsa, chopped chipotle chile, and adobo sauce to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture is warmed through and slightly thickened, about 5 more minutes. If you’d like the mixture to be saucier, add a little water at this stage.
- Combine with Tortillas: Stir in the torn tortilla chunks into the skillet. Mix well to incorporate.
- Serve: Serve the skillet meal hot. Top with chopped tomatoes, avocado, radishes, crumbled queso fresco, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. Offer additional salsa on the side for those who enjoy extra spice.
Recipe Tips
- Cook the Tortillas Right: Cook the tortillas on medium heat until they start to turn a bit black on the edges. This makes them taste smoky and gives a good texture.
- Cook the Turkey Well: Cook the turkey with some spices over high heat until it’s all brown. This makes sure it’s safe to eat and tastes like beef.
- Use Good Ingredients for Taste: Put black beans and salsa in the pan. Also, add chopped chipotle pepper and some adobo sauce to make it taste really good.
- Put Tortillas in the Pan: After cooking the tortillas, tear them up and mix them into the pan. This adds a nice corn taste to the dish.
- Add Fresh Toppings: After cooking, add fresh things like tomatoes, avocado, radishes, cheese, more salsa, cilantro, and sour cream on top.

Can I Use Another Meat Instead Of Ground Turkey?

How Can I Make This Dish Less Spicy?
