1 large avocado, sliced

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup pico de gallo

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Lime wedges for serving

4. In a small pan or microwave, warm the black beans with a pinch of salt.

5. While the meat and beans cook, chop the romaine, slice the avocado, and prepare your toppings.

6. In a large bowl, layer rice as the base, then add turkey, black beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, avocado, shredded cheese, and sour cream or yogurt.

7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if using.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of fresh, creamy, spicy, and savory in every bite.

Notes

Use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice for a low-carb version.

Store ingredients separately if meal prepping to maintain freshness and texture.

Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt to boost the protein and lighten it up.
