DASH Diet Mexican Bake Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened.

Add the cooked ground turkey back to the skillet. Stir in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, until flavors are well combined.

In a 9×9-inch baking dish, spread half of the cooked brown rice evenly.

Top the rice with the turkey and vegetable mixture. Spread the remaining rice on top.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the rice.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado.
