I wanted to cut back on red meat, but my husband thinks ground turkey can be dry. I think the taco seasoning and jalapeno juice in this recipe give the turkey added flavor and moistness, and he agrees! —Lindsay Ludden, Omaha, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground turkey
  • 3/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup sliced ripe olives

  • 1 flour tortilla (10 inches), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices
