What’s for dinner… A Burrito Bowl!

Looking for an easy weeknight meal with just a few ingredients but lots of flavor, a Burrito Bowl is the answer!  You can make them as simple or as complex as you want, the sky is the limit!

I kept it simple Ground Turkey, Grilled Corn on the Cob and Yellow Rice.  You can really use any rice but I chose yellow rice because my oldest likes it and this way I could use some for his packed lunch.  Momma is always thinking!

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

3 ears of corn

1 package rice (I used Goya Yellow Rice)

1 tsp chili powder (can adjust based on preference)

1 ½  tsp garlic powder

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cayenne (can adjust based on preference)

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 ½ tbsp olive oil

Sour Cream for topping

  1. In a small pot, cook selected rice according to package directions

  1. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp over medium flame. Add turkey meat and brown for about 6-7 minutes, until meat is no longer pink.  Add tomato paste, chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, pepper and ½ cayenne, adjust to your desired spice level.  Mix well.

  1. Remove husks from the corn on the cob. Drizzle with ½ tbsp olive oil and remaining garlic powder and cayenne.   Heat a grill pan over a medium/high heat and place corn in center of pan.  Cook for 8-10 minutes turning regularly to get a char on all sides of the corn.  Remove from pan and let cool before cutting kernels from the cob.

  1. Set up 4 bowls, add rice, ground turkey and corn to each bowl. Top with a dollop of sour cream on each.


If you want to get more creative with your burrito bowl you could top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapenos, sliced avocado, or what I wish I had last night to give it a Mexican Street Corn feel crumbled cotija cheese.
