- Add the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, and flour. Stir the mixture constantly for 1 minute while it cooks until it is crumbly.
- Slowly add the beef broth, a little at a time, while whisking until the mixture thickens.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir in the black beans and corn.
- Turn the heat down to medium, and let it simmer for at least 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
- Serve the turkey mixture over rice and top with your chosen taco toppings.
Notes
- This recipe works well for meal prep; store the turkey mixture separately from the rice and fresh toppings.
