Prep 15 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat on the stove, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and the remaining salt. Cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, for 6 minutes until browned and opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir in the taco seasoning, tomato paste, and water. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
Fluff the rested rice with a fork. Stir in the black beans, corn, and cherry tomatoes. The residual heat from the rice will warm the beans and corn through.
Transfer the rice and bean mixture to a bowl. Top with the seasoned ground turkey and garnish with the chopped cilantro.
