Let's start with the rice. I have a rice cooker (thanks to my husband) which makes it super easy to have flavorful rice in little time with minimal effort.
I put 1 cup uncooked white rice, 2 cups chicken broth and 4-5 large tablespoons of salsa verde in the bowl.
Set the cooker to COOK and let it go. While the rice is cooking I started on the burrito meat.
I used ground turkey, a taco seasoning packet and two bell peppers (I know only one is pictured). The refried beans, cheese and tortillas will be used later on. Here's a tip: to make grating cheese even easier, put the cheese in the freezer until you're ready to grate it.
Cook the ground turkey until all the pink is gone and the meat is cooked through. Drain any fat from the meat. Dump the taco seasoning in with the meat and add whatever amount of liquid is listed on the packet. Stir the meat so the seasoning mix coats the meat evenly. Simmer the meat until the liquid is absorbed. The meat is ready at this point.
If you're like me and enjoy poisoning your husband with vegetables then this next step is for you. I didn't have any normal burrito fixin' vegetables so I added some chopped bell peppers into the meat mixture.
I cooked a can of refried beans in a sauce pan and thinned them out using some milk. You don't taste the milk and the color still looks natural enough to eat. This picture is during the in between stage while the milk is still being mixed in with the beans.
When the rice was done cooking I took the cheese out of the freezer, grated it really fast and make myself a tasty and quite filling burrito.
