Turkey Burrito Bowls

I love burrito bowls, not only because they are low carb, but because they take hardly any ingredients. You could substitute the turkey for chicken or pork or ground beef, just depending on what you have. Black beans could be changed out for kidney or pinto beans. You get the picture ;)

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup diced onion
• 1/2 lb ground turkey (or any other meat)
• 1 cup uncooked Minute Rice
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 cups salsa
• 2 Tsp taco seasoning (I used half of those little packets)
• 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
• 1 15 oz can corn, halfway drained
• 2 cups diced tomatoes
• 1/4 tsp S&P
• 1/2 - 3/4 c. grated cheese 
• Chives, green onions, or cilantro for topping

Over medium heat, in a skillet, cook the onion and ground turkey. The turkey should be cooked until it's no longer pink. Drain off any fat, then push the turkey to one side of the skillet. Add the rice and toast for about 1 minute.

Add the broth, rice, 1 cup salsa, 1 cup diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, corn, and the beans. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Season with salt and pepper. If it starts to dry up, just add a little more broth. Turn off the burner.

Mix in the cheese. It will melt with the heat.

Serve in individual bowls and garnish with the remaining tomatoes, salsa, and chives. You can also garnish it with fresh avocado, and lettuce.

NOTE: If using long grain brown rice, it will need to be cooked in advance. Uncle Ben's 10 minute brown rice was used in this recipe.

So tasty! I do have a confession though, I accidentally added CURRY to my bowl - lesson learned. Don't try and get creative by blending cultures. CURRY + TACO seasoning = no bueno. 

As I was writing this post Con said, "Hey, make sure you put in your blog post, not to add curry." Consider yourself warned! 

I love seeing all the colors of the veggies

Awwww....summer fruit is my fav. 

I always add WAY more cheese than necessary. 

YUM!
