- Add the turkey and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through.
- Season lightly with salt, black pepper, and cumin.
- Stir in the poblano strips and black beans and cook 1 minute more, just until warmed through.
- Place the tortillas on a clean surface.

- Cut into wedges and serve with salsa.
Gourmet Geek Tip
Do not overfill the tortillas or they will be hard to flip. | Keep the heat at medium so the outside browns without burning before the cheese melts. | Serve with a crisp green salad or fresh fruit.
