Ingredients:

  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 onion, diced
  • 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • cooked rice, black beans, corn, peas, avocado, tortilla chips, cheese, Greek yogurt, anything else you want to add!

Directions:

Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and onion and cook until onion is fragrant. Add turkey and spices and cook through. Turn heat to low, add tomato sauce and let simmer ~ 5 minutes.

To make bowl, assemble taco meat and desired add-ins. I used rice, black beans, corn, peas, and added avocado and tortilla chips prior to serving. These RW Garcia chips are my new favorite:

I love these kinds of bowls. I usually go all 'Chipotle' style and create mine with shredded lettuce.

So glad tomorrow is Thursday. Weekends can't come fast enough for me anymore, but I think you know that. ;)

Great and easy dinner. Thanks for this idea. Some nights I don't feel like cooking but would like to assemble things and call it dinner. Never seen those dippers before, they have cute shapes too.
