Instructions

Cook Rice
1

• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water (2 1⁄4 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, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2

• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Drain beans. Dice tomato into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.

Cook Turkey & Beans
3

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey, Fajita Spice Blend, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until turkey is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in beans and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are warmed through, 1-2 minutes.

Make Salsa
4

• While turkey cooks, in a small bowl, combine tomato, juice from half the lime, as much cilantro and lime zest as you like, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Heat Queso
5

• Place queso blanco in a medium microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until warmed through, 25-30 seconds. TIP: If needed, microwave in 5-10 second intervals, stirring in between.

Finish & Serve
6

• Fluff rice with a fork. • Divide rice between bowls; top with turkey and beans. Drizzle with queso blanco and top with tomato salsa. Squeeze remaining lime wedges over bowls and serve.

Ground Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
