Servings: 3 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1½ teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 cup dry white rice
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for topping
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, store-bought or homemade taco seasoning
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 can black beans, rinsed
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¾ cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
- ¾ cup guacamole, optional, store-bought or homemade guacamole
- ⅓ cup sour cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Thinly slice the bell peppers and purple onion, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Drizzle the peppers and onions with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and roast for 40 minutes.
- While the peppers and onions roast, rinse the rice, and place it in a pot along with 1 cup of water, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Bring the ingredients to a simmer, then cover the pot, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes until done. When the rice is done, add a ¼ cup of fresh, chopped cilantro and the juice of 1 lime to the pot with the rice, and stir to combine.
- Add the ground turkey and taco seasoning to a skillet over medium/high heat and crumble until fully cooked through.
- Assemble 3 meal prep containers by adding an equal amount of romaine lettuce, rice, beans, cooked turkey, cheese, and the optional guacamole and sour cream to each container. Add a lime wedge to each container and top with cilantro!
Notes
- Use pico de gallo - pico is a fantastic add here! If pico is your thing, feel free to swap the cherry tomatoes for pico (store-bought or homemade pico).
- Use a different protein - as mentioned above, ANY ground protein (ground chicken, ground beef, etc.) will work here. In addition to that, though, any shredded, taco-seasoned meat (shredded beef, shredded pork, shredded chicken, etc.) will also work great.
- Make it dairy free - if you want a dairy free burrito bowl, simply nix the sour cream and cheese (or find dairy free alternatives).
