10burrito tortillas
Instructions
Turkey Mixture
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over low medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pan and let it cook until they start to become translucent.
Add the bell pepper and jalapeño to the pan and cook until they become tender.
In the meantime, add the turkey to a medium/large bowl and season with the cayenne, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder and chicken bouillon and mix it all together.
Once the veggies are tender, add the turkey to the pan and cook through.
Drain the juices from the turkey and hold over a low burner until ready to assemble burritos.
Mexican Rice
Add the onion, chicken broth, garlic, tomatoes and tomato bouillon to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Put the olive oil to a medium pot and heating it over medium heat.
Once it’s hot, add the rice and salt and stir well to coat all of the rice in oil. Let it cook and stir every two minutes until the rice starts to turn a light brown color.
Once the rice has browned up a bit, pour in the tomato mix. (Be careful, as the water will start to pop and sizzle.)
Bring the rice to a boil over high heat and reduce to low medium heat. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 20 minutes.
Once it has cooked, remove the lid and check to see how much moisture is left. If there is a lot, turn the heat down and let it cook with the lid off for 3-5 more minutes. If the moisture is gone, remove the lid, turn the heat off and let it sit for five to six minutes.
Fluff the rice and serve.
Guacamole
Remove the peel and smash the avocado in a small bowl.
Add the garlic powder, chili powder, lime juice and salt to the bowl, mix thoroughly and let it sit for five to ten minutes to allow the garlic powder and salt to incorporate well.
Assembly
Start by warming the tortillas in a pan or in the microwave.
Spread a layer of guacamole into the middle of the tortilla leaving space to close it.
Next, layer the rice, turkey, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
Fold and roll up the tortilla and serve immediately with salsa or sour cream.
Notes
You may want to start the rice first. By the time the rice is done the meat mixture and everything else should be ready to go.
