Southwest Bowls

idea from Alison Denton Jones

Ingredients:

• rice, leftover or fresh
• ground turkey (or other protein) with Taco Seasoning
• 30 oz diced tomatoes, canned
• avocados
• sour cream
• salsa
• frozen corn, warmed
• 30 oz black beans, canned
• cilantro and/or scallions
• cheese, shredded
• other leftovers (peppers, onions, sweet potato, brussels sprouts, etc)

Directions:

Make rice if using fresh (we do it in rice cooker - 2c brown rice to 3c liquid).

Optional: roast the black beans. Preheat oven to 350F. Drain and rinse beans and put on sheet pan, then roast for 20 minutes.

Cook the turkey/protein, adding taco seasoning as it cooks.

Put everything on the table and make your own! Adaptable to many ingredients - this is just what we did the first time we tried it.
