Due to poor planning on my part, I woke up this morning with no clue what we were going to eat for lunch. I had sandwiches planned, but no sandwich meat or bread... Lovely. I did, however, have a pound of ground turkey, leftover mashed pinto beans, and salsa from the mexican pizza this past weekend. So I thought, Burrito! Only I didn't have tortillas. Grrr. . . So burrito bowl became the plan.
Burrito Bowl - fast and easy
Ground tukey, browned and seasoned with chili powder
Mashed pinto beans
Bell Peppers and Onion, sauteed
Salsa
Optional - rice. (Brown rice is one of things I cook a lot of and use throughout the week)
Note - Brown rice can easily become spanish rice with some chili powder, salt, and Mrs. Dash
Southwest seasoning.
Step 1: Dump it all in a bowl. Serve
I pair this with an avocado if I have it. Avocados are great source of healthy fats. I buy them green and keep them in the fridge until 1 day before I want to use them. I leave in the pantry for 24 hours and they are ready to use.
What I would have done if my turkey was frozen?? No idea. I think I will make it a point to always have 1 lb of thawed something (turkey or chicken)
