This Easy Turkey Taco Rice Skillet is seriously the most perfect weeknight dinner. It’s so beyond easy, and a meal that the whole family will love. Even my toddler gobbled it up and asked for seconds.
What you will need to make this Easy Turkey Taco Rice Skillet:
- Ground Turkey– I love using ground turkey in this recipe because it’s leaner than using ground beef, however, feel free to sub beef if that is your preference!
- Onion
- Garlic
- Zucchini– I wanted to sneak in some veggies in this recipe not only for myself but for my toddler as well! He ate every last bite.
- Black Beans
- Fire roasted diced tomatoes– you could use regular diced tomatoes if you can’t find fire roasted, they just don’t have as much flavor, so seasoning accordingly!
- White Rice- I always keep the Trader Joe’s organic jasmine rice in my freezer. It only takes 3 minutes to heat up and a total life saver!
- Taco Seasoning– My favorite taco seasoning is Siete Foods, however, any taco seasoning will work!
- Shredded Cheese– my go-to is a Mexican cheese blend, however, any cheese works great.
My favorite way to serve this Easy Turkey Taco Rice Skillet is in a bowl with tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro, and lime. It’s so delicious and so satisfying.
