Method
Rinse the rice, cover with 150 ml water, add 1 g salt, and cook for 15–18 minutes until tender.
Heat the oil and cook the ground1 turkey for 5 minutes, breaking up any lumps with a spatula.
Add the paprika, cumin, tomato4 paste, 40 ml water, 1 g salt, and pepper. Simmer for 6–7 minutes until the sauce is thick and the turkey is cooked through.
Warm the corn for 2 minutes, dice the tomato4, tear the lettuce, and grate the cheddar6.
Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base, then add the turkey, corn, tomato4, and lettuce in sections.
Add the sour7 cream, sprinkle with cheddar6, and drizzle with lime8 juice.
Tips
- Why it works
- Simmer the turkey with tomato paste and water so the sauce doesn't burn or dry out. If you add a lot of liquid at once, the sauce gets diluted and loses richness.
- Substitutions
- Replace the canned corn with boiled corn kernels (60 g) or frozen kernels (60 g). Instead of cheddar, use grated Parmesan (25 g) for a sharper taste.
- Common mistakes
- If the turkey is dry, the mince was undercooked or simmered too long with the lid off. Check with a fork: the meat should separate easily.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes under a lid, adding 1 tablespoon of water. Don't freeze, as the sour cream and lettuce will turn mushy.
- Serve with
- Serve with corn chips or toast for a crunchy texture. Good for a family dinner when you need something quick and filling.
