Ingredients:

  • 0.7 kg turkey breast fillet (about 6 pieces, steaks, escalopes, midlands, schnitzels or natural cutlets)
  • 1 tbsp. basmati rice
  • 2 sweet peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), cut into thick strips
  • 1 large white onion, sliced ​​into thick rings
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. seasonings for fajitas
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.5 tbsp. fresh pico de gallo salsa

Preparation:

  1. Preheat grill to high heat.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 1 2/3 cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and stir. Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Let sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place 1 bell pepper strip and 2 outer rings from 1 onion slice in a blender; set aside. Brush the remaining pepper strips and onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss the turkey with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and fajita seasoning; add salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the peppers and onions, turning once, until tender and charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and add the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Grill the turkey until cooked through and charred, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into strips.
  5. In a blender, puree the reserved peppers and onion with 1/4 cup water, cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the cilantro puree. Divide the rice among bowls; top with the turkey, vegetables, avocado, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
