I partnered with a bunch of amazing bloggers to hook you all up with over 50 quick and easy dinner meals! Make sure to pin this for later when you are making your meal planning grocery list. These are easy, make right after a practice or before you’re running out for the evening kind of meals.
Mexican Haystacks are a favorite in our home. Mainly because you can add what you’d like and so the pickiest of our kids might end up with 1 or 2 things on their rice while us grown ups can enjoy all the colors and tastes!
You need:
1 lb. ground turkey
1/4 cup onion
rice
salsa
red bell pepper
corn
avocado
cilantro
shredded cheese
tortilla strips
The tomatoes came from our garden & they are so good! My husband & I have been trying to find more recipes with tomato because there are so many still growing.
Combine your meat and 1/4 cup onion and cook until meat is browned. Drain meat and add salsa. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Toss the rice in the rice cooker.
While the rice is cooking and the meat is simmering, chop up whatever toppings you’d like.
These are our favorite, but I’m sure there are more possibilities.
Usually with our meals I will make beans or some other side dish, but with this I feel like you get everything. It is a filling meal, but tastes fresh and light.
We hope you will follow along on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest!
