A flavorful and hearty stew inspired by Tex-Mex cuisine, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground turkey.
Break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the turkey, cooking until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.
Toasting the spices enhances their flavor.
Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and water to the pot. Stir to combine.
Ensure all ingredients are well mixed for even cooking.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the stew in bowls, topped with crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheese.
Add the toppings just before serving to maintain their texture.
