This exact dinner, or some variation of it (i.e. breakfast burritos) is a heavy constant in our rotation and I think you’d love it if you haven’t made yet! 🙂 It’s great if you want something that’s not as heavy with the tortilla, plus you can substitute more greens + extra veggies for a lighter option. I make it about 2x a week just because it’s so quick and we never get tired of it. But you *have* to add the homemade mango pico, I swear it makes the whole dish!
If you make it, make sure to give this recipe a rating and let me know what you think– I appreciate it! xx

- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/3 cup freshly chopped cilantro
- Siete Foods grain-free chips
Chunky Mango Pico
- 1 large semi-ripe mango, peeled and diced (you want it to have a slight crunch to it)

Instructions
Taco Bowl
- Heat 1 tbsp oil on medium heat in skillet until hot but not smoking. Add organic ground turkey (or meat of choice) and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned. Add taco seasoning and water, turn heat to low, and cover to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed. Turn heat off and set aside.
- While the turkey is cooking, in a separate skillet add the oil and thinly sliced peppers + onions. Sauté for several minutes on medium heat, add cumin + pink salt, then cover and let cook until charred, about 10 minutes. Make sure to toss every few minutes.
- Time to build your bowls! Add mixed greens, seasoned turkey, veggies, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, mango pico, heated beans and tortilla chips. Enjoy!
