Steps

1. 1

   Begin by heating a spacious nonstick sauté pan on medium-high heat. Season the ground turkey with salt and pepper to your liking before adding it to the pan. Stir continuously to break up the meat as it cooks until the turkey achieves a golden brown color and is fully cooked, which should take around 6 minutes.

2. 2

   Combine the black beans along with their liquid and the tomatillo salsa in a saucepan. Heat the mixture thoroughly. Gently incorporate the scallions into the hot mixture.

3. 3

   While the soup is simmering, take the tortillas and char them using flameproof tongs over an open flame until both sides have a slight blackened appearance. Alternatively, you can toast them under a broiler that has been preheated. To keep the tortillas warm, cover them with a kitchen towel as you work through each one.
