Description
These Ground Turkey and Rice Taco Bowls are perfect for an easy dinner option. The kids can build their own, which mine always love to do.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound package of ground turkey
- 1 cup yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 1 cup red pepper, roughly chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced thin
- 2 cups of cheese- I had feta and cheddar as choices (1 cup of each)
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- 1 cup of pico de gallo
- 2 avocados, sliced or mashed into guac
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 pack of taco seasoning (1/2 ounce)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook the rice and set aside.
- Prepare the avocado, pico, cheese, sour cream and lime wedges & stick in fridge until serving time.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Add the yellow onion and red pepper and cook for 2 minutes, then add the zucchini. Sprinkle in salt, stir, and allow this to cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the heat down if the zucchini and onions start to brown.
- Remove all veggies from the skillet and place in a bowl and cover with foil to keep in the heat.
- Return skillet to medium heat and add the ground turkey. Break up the turkey and cook until no longer pink, add 1/2 package of taco seasoning and stir. Cooking Tip: Add a few tbsp of water if it looks really dry. Ground turkey is lean and it sometimes needs a little water with the taco seasoning.*Cook another 3-5 minutes until fully cooked (a few minutes after no pink in sight)
- Have everyone build their own taco bowls and enjoy a delicious, quick and healthy meal.
