🫘 1 cup refried beans
🥄 1 cup sour cream

🍅 1 cup chopped tomatoes
🧅 1/2 cup chopped red onion

🌶️ 1/4 cup jalapeños (for pico)
🥑 1 diced avocado

Instructions

1- Prep the Toppings:

Begin by preparing a fresh pico de gallo by combining chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeños in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Dice the avocado and prep the sliced green onions.

2- Cook the Ground Turkey:

Start with a sturdy corn tortilla laid flat on your work surface.
Layer a generous portion of cooked ground turkey onto the tortilla.
Spread a spoonful of refried beans over the meat evenly.

4- Add the Creamy Layers:

Add a dollop of sour cream on top of the beans.
Drizzle cheese sauce generously over the stacked ingredients.

5- Top It Off:

Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of the prepared pico de gallo.
Add slices of avocado, green bell pepper, and green onions.
For a spicy kick, drizzle some hot sauce if desired.
