Turkey Tacos with Refried Beans Puree ***

Good.  I used a can of Siete refried black beans. It kind of reminded me of cat food in appearance.  My new food processor isn't as strong as my old one.  I'd probably get better results with the Vitamix; I just don't like cleaning the container!

For the beans

 1 clove garlic, minced

 1 can (1.5 cups) black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained 

 ¼ cup broth

 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped

For the turkey

 

 1/2 tsp garlic powder

 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

 1/2 tsp cumin

 1 lb ground turkey

1

Beans: In a saute pan, heat 2 Tbsp water over medium heat. Add garlic and saute 1 minute, until fragrant. Add beans and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes.

2

Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash the beans. Continue cooking 3-4 minutes, until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.

3

Turkey: In a sauté pan, heat garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Toast 1 minute.

4

Add 1/4 water and turkey. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring to break up, until cooked through. As water evaporates, add 1 Tbsp water at a time to keep the pan from drying out.

In a food processor or blender, combine beans and turkey and pulse until smooth.  Adjust seasonings.
