• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced sweet potatoes. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned. Remove the sweet potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
3. Add the minced garlic, ground turkey, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook the turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Return the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine with the turkey mixture.
5. Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the beans and corn through.
6. Taste the skillet and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro leaves.
