• 1 tsp mild chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
• 4 cups cooked white or brown rice I use a bag of frozen rice reheated in the microwave
• 1 ripe avocado cut into quarters and sliced

Instructions

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced peppers and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the veggies begin to brown.
