    • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ small onion, diced
    • ½ cup diced tomatoes
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Bowls:

    • 2 cups cooked rice (brown rice or cauliflower rice for low-carb)
    • 1 cup shredded lettuce
    • ½ cup corn (optional)
    • ½ cup black beans (rinsed and drained)
    • 1 avocado, sliced
    • ¼ cup shredded cheese (or dairy-free alternative)
    • Juice of 1 lime
    • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the Taco Meat: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until fragrant. Add ground turkey, cook until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and diced tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Bowl Components: Cook rice according to package instructions. Rinse and drain black beans and corn. Slice the avocado and chop the cilantro.
  • Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice, taco meat, lettuce, beans, and corn into meal-prep containers. Top with avocado, cheese, and fresh cilantro.
  • Add the Final Touches: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and store in airtight containers.

Notes

  • Use quinoa instead of rice for extra protein.
  • Add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Keep avocado separate until serving to avoid browning.
