Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced - medium
  • 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 package Sazon Goya
  • 1 jalapeño finely chopped (optional for extra heat)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies 14.5 oz
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 15 oz
  • 1 cup southwest corn drained if you can find it!
  • 2 cups cooked turkey shredded or diced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional toppings: avocado shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips

Instructions

  • NOTE - if using leftover turkey. Cook it in enough water to cover it for at least an hour before. This is a perfect meal to make in an instant pot! Then you have the turkey and the broth! Then remove both and shred the chicken.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat or set your Instant Pot to "Saute". Add onion and bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in garlic and jalapeño, cooking for another minute.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, stirring to coat the vegetables. Pour in the broth and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Bring to a simmer or set your Instant pot to "Slow Cook" on Low.
  • Add black beans, corn, and turkey to the pot. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to blend flavors. Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the Sazon Goya ore similar seasoning.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and your favorite toppings.
