Forget Taco Tuesday, We Do Burrito Bowl Tuesday!

 

We were burnt out on tacos. Ground beef tacos, chicken tacos, ground turkey tacos, fish tacos, shredded pork tacos...the list went on and on. Tacos...they were getting a little...blah.

Don't get me wrong, we ADORE tacos. But we needed a little change. Just something to shake up our usual Tuesday routine.

I was on Pinterest, looking up healthy recipes, when I came across a delicious burrito bowl. I scanned the recipe, then do what I always do: modify it to fit us.

In our house, we don't do one--and only one--vegetable: bell peppers. My husband has never eaten them and bell peppers, along with ground beef, repulsed me while I was pregnant. I can do the ground beef now, but the smell of bell peppers still makes me want to puke. I have a hard time even just looking at them.

So, we adopted this new recipe and made it out own. And we absolutely LOVE it!

Here's how we do Burrito Bowl Tuesday...

What you'll need to make 4 servings:

1 lb ground turkey (you can use beef but we prefer the lighter taste of turkey with our burrito bowls)

1 cup salsa

1/2 cup shredded cheese

3 cups cooked rice (brown, white, basmati...whatever your preference is)

1 can sweet corn

1 can black beans

1 avocado

1 large tomato (or you can use cherry tomatoes)

1/2 large red onion

Salt & pepper to taste

 

 

1. Brown your ground turkey in a cast-iron skillet. When done, pour in 1 cup of your favorite salsa. I tried Casa Mamita's Chipolte Lime Organic Salsa this time around. I'm in LOVE! I don't know if I can eat other salsas now! It was so delicious!

2. Shred your cheese, cut your veggies, and rinse off your cans of corn and beans! Put them into cute little bowls and make it buffet-style!

3. Grab your cooked rice, layer on ground turkey, beans and corn, veggies, and top with shredded cheese! You can also add cilantro, sour cream, salsa, etc. on top!

Enjoy!
