Taco Rice Bowls
Rice bowls are a quick and healthy go-to during the week. Nothing fancy - but it's cheaper than take-out and it'll get the job done!
Taco Rice Bowls
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup brown rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2lb ground turkey
- small onion, diced
- red pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- hot sauce, to taste
- salt, to taste
- 2 cups romaine, shredded
- 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 1/2 English cucumber, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 lime, cut into two wedges
Heat oil in the bottom of a pan over medium-high heat. Crumble the turkey meat into the pan and brown. Add the onion and red pepper and sautee until onion is translucent. Add the chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, hot sauce, and salt. Stir to combine. Add a touch of water or chicken stock for a saucier result.
Serve the ground meat mixture over top of the rice and top with veggies, cheese, and a squeeze of lime. For a little extra crunch, serve with a few tortilla chips.
Serves 2
Notes from the Chef:
-Don't be a afraid to pick and choose your own toppings!
-Sub diced chicken or black beans for ground turkey if that's your preference.
-English cucumbers are a little more expensive but save me time since they don't require peeling or de-seeding. Money well spent in my book!
