Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (minced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 bell pepper (chopped finely)
1 lb/500 grams ground turkey (- or ground chicken)
2 cups leftover cooked rice (- if you don't have leftover rice you can also start by cooking 1 cup dry rice.)
1 14 oz can black beans, ( drained and rinsed)
1 cup plain tomato sauce
1 cup salsa
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tbsp lime juice (up to 2 tbsp to taste)
1/3 cup cilantro (chopped + more for serving)
salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper and turkey to the skillet. Cook, stirring often and breaking down the turkey in small bits with the spoon, until turkey is no longer pink (it will finish cooking after).
  • Stir in rice, black beans, tomato sauce, salsa, chili powder and cumin. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often, to let the flavor develop. If it starts to dry out, add a bit more tomato sauce or salsa, just enough to moisten.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in lime juice and cilantro. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  • Serve immediately with more cilantro and some lime wedges; or pack in containers to eat later.
