Method

  1. Preheat the oven at 375℉.
  2. In a large cast iron skillet or oven safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, turkey, salt, pepper, and cumin and cook, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces, until cooked through or no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Remove from the heat and add the zucchini, bell pepper, drained black beans, and corn and stir to combine. Pour in SideDish Chili Lime Vinaigrette and stir until well combined and spread into an even layer in the skillet. Top with the cheese and transfer to the oven to bake, uncovered, until the veggies are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

  4. Remove from the oven and top with avocado and cilantro.
  5. Serve with chips for dipping and scooping, or scoop and put into a warm flour tortilla, taco style!
