Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped medium onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Add 1 lb ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir in 2 tbsp minced chipotle peppers in adobo, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine 1 can (15 oz) drained black beans, 1 cup corn kernels, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 2 tbsp lime juice. Stir gently to mix.
4. Step 4: Warm 4 flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds. Divide the turkey mixture evenly among the tortillas, then top each with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup black bean and corn salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.
5. Step 5: Roll up each tortilla tightly to form burritos and serve immediately.
