Ingredients
12 small flour tortillas
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
16 ounces ground chorizo turkey sausage*
1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium black beans
½ cup prepared salsa
1 small bunch green onions
1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
diced tomatoes or halved cherry or grape tomatoes
sliced avocado
chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
To warm the tortillas: Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Divide the tortillas into two stacks of 5 and wrap each stack in foil. Place the stacks on an ungreased baking sheet. Place in the oven and heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until warmed through. Set aside and leave wrapped until ready to serve.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot but not yet smoking, add the turkey sausage (stand back, as it may splatter). Cook, breaking apart the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula, until brown and fully cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Add the beans and salsa. Stir to combine, and with the back of a large spoon, lightly mash the beans. Cook until the beans are heated through and the salsa liquid has cooked off, about 3 minutes. Stir in about two-thirds of the green onions, reserving a small handful for serving. Let cook 30 seconds, then remove the filling from the heat.
Stuff and serve! Pile the filling into warm tortillas, adding about 1/3 cup to each. Top each with a generous tablespoon of cheese or any other desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.
