20 25 45

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 turkey breast tenderloin (1/2 pound)
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tomato
4 teaspoons picante sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
2 lime wedges

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt and cayenne. Sprinkle half the spice mixture over turkey. In a skillet, brown turkey in 2 teaspoons oil for 3-4 minutes on each side. Add broth and lime juice to skillet. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until turkey juices run clear and thermometer reads 170°, turning once.
In a small skillet, saute the onion and jalapeno in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl. Add the beans, corn, tomato, picante sauce, cilantro and remaining spice mixture. Serve turkey with salsa and lime wedges. Yield: 2 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
