Turkey Black Bean Tacos with Spicy Pineapple Salsa

Taco Filling Ingredients:

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 pound. ground turkey

1 onion, small diced

2 carrots, grated

1, 10oz. can diced tomatoes with green chiles

1, 15oz. can black beans, drained & rinsed

1 tablespoon chili powder

In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey to the pan and begin to cook the meat. Stir to break the meat up into smaller pieces.

Simmer the taco filling over medium heat, stirring frequently until the vegetables are soft and the beans are warmed through, about 5-10 minutes.
