For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground turkey with crumbled tofu or additional black beans. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Adding a squeeze of lime juice at the end brightens up the flavors. Fresh cilantro makes a great garnish!
