The instruction
Sizzle & Brown: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and onions. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
The Spice Infusion: Add the diced bell pepper, black beans, and corn. Sprinkle the taco seasonings over the mixture and stir well to toast the spices for about 2 minutes.
Simmer: Pour in the tomato sauce and a splash of water (or broth). Lower the heat and let the skillet simmer for 5-8 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything beautifully.
The Melt: Spread the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and gooey. Top with avocado and cilantro before serving directly from the pan.
