Instructions
Heat your large pot and splash in the olive oil. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for about 5–6 minutes until it is mostly browned and sizzlin'.
Toss in the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring around until it’s soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and taco seasoning for just 30 seconds to wake up those flavors!
Add the rinsed rice, drained beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, frozen corn, and salt to the pot. Stir everything together like you are mixing a flavor tornado and bring it to a lively boil!
Turn down the heat to low, cover that pot up tight, and let it simmer for 18 minutes — no peeking! Let the magic happen under the lid.
Power off the heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff up all that goodness with a fork, sprinkle with cheese if you wish, and wait for it to melt into cheesy heaven!

Recipe Notes & Tips
- For extra veg, stir in a few handfuls of baby spinach at the end until wilted.
- If your pot runs hot, add an extra 1/4 cup broth to prevent sticking.
