A vibrant and flavorful Tex-Mex skillet dish perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey, diced onion, and chopped red bell pepper.
Break up the turkey into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Once the turkey is browned and the vegetables are softened, stir in the diced tomatoes, green chilies, taco seasoning, rice, and water.
Ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the skillet for uniform cooking.
Cover the skillet and let it simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check the rice for doneness before proceeding to the next step.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
This resting time enhances the overall taste of the dish.
Top the skillet mixture with shredded lettuce, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced black olives, and crushed tortilla chips.
Arrange the toppings evenly for a visually appealing presentation.
Serve the dish directly from the skillet with a side of chunky salsa.
Pair with a refreshing beverage like iced tea for a complete meal.
