Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 small zucchini, shredded (1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 14.5 oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
- 4 oz diced green chiles
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice or white rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- Optional toppings: cilantro, green onion, diced tomatoes, radish, avocado, jalapeño slices, pickled red onions, queso fresco
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and red pepper; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring and breaking apart the turkey with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini, cilantro, taco seasoning, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, green chiles, cooked rice, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Stir until combined and cheese is melted. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
- Preheat the broiler. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Watch closely. Remove from oven and garnish with desired toppings. We like to serve with tortillas or tortilla chips.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
