Gus' Family Recipe

Ingredients

1 tbsp oil
1/2 white onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground turkey
1 lb smoked pulled pork, already cooked
2 cans black beans, drained
2 cans diced tomatoes, not drained
2 packets taco seasoning
Shredded pepper jack or cheddar, and sour cream, for serving

Steps

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the turkey and brown it, breaking it up as it cooks. Don't drain it; turkey is lean, and the fat adds flavor.
Add the pulled pork, black beans, tomatoes with their juice, and taco seasoning. Stir.
Simmer on low for about 4 hours.
Serve topped with cheese and sour cream.

Cook's Notes

This is a good use for leftover pulled pork. Freeze a pound from your last cook and you're halfway there.
Gus uses a large Le Creuset Dutch oven, so everything happens in one pot.
Any cheese works. Pepper jack or cheddar are the usual picks.
