Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook, until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes.

  • Once rice is cooked, fluff with a fork; stir in cream cheeseMonterey Jack, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until combined.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 4.

Prep & Make Pico
2
  • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Quarter lime. Core, deseed, and dice green pepper into ½-inch pieces. 

  • In a small bowl, combine tomato, scallions, juice from half the lime, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook Turkey
3
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned and softened, 2-3 minutes. 

  • Add turkey*, chili powder, garlic powder, stock concentrates, 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until turkey is browned and cooked through and mixture has thickened slightly, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If mixture seems too thick, add another splash of water. 

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper; turn off heat. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Wash out pan.

Assemble Burritos
4
  • Once cheesy rice is done, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

  • Lay tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly divide cheesy rice in a line along the bottom third of each tortilla. Top rice evenly with turkey mixture and a thin layer of pico de gallo. TIP: You may have some rice and turkey left over—save it for serving!

  • Fold up bottom side of each tortilla over filling, then fold over left and right sides toward filling. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to form burritos.

Sear Burritos
5
  • Heat a drizzle of oil and ½ TBSP butter in pan used for turkey over medium heat. Add burritos, seam sides down, and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. (For 4 servings, you may need to work in batches, adding another ½ TBSP butter between each batch.)

Finish & Serve
6
  • Halve burritos. 

  • Divide burritos between plates. Serve with remaining pico de gallo and remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the cheesy rice and zesty lime flavors, though some found it a bit bland and suggested adding extra seasoning 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: While most found it easy to make, some struggled with overstuffing and rolling the burritos without tearing.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding beans, cilantro, or a creamy sauce for more flavor and moisture. Use less filling for easier rolling.
  • Portions: Several noted there was enough filling for 3-4 burritos instead of just 2.
  • Texture: The cheesy rice was praised for its creaminess, but a few found the overall dish a bit dry.
