Serves: 4 Time: 25 minutes Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
For the Stir Fry:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 long green pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- ¼ cup water
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn (drained)
- 4 tablespoons sweet soy glaze
- 1 cup shredded fiesta blend cheese
For the Slaw:
- 4 ounces shredded red cabbage
- 5 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Pinch of salt
For the Gochujang Mayo:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ ounce gochujang sauce (adjust to taste)
- Salt & pepper to taste
To Serve:
- 6 flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 large tomato, diced
- ½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
- Crispy fried onions (as much as you like)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Slaw & Sauce
- In a medium bowl, toss the shredded red cabbage with rice wine vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit while you cook—this will become your crunchy slaw.
- In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and gochujang sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Step 2: Fire Up the Blackstone
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and coat it evenly with olive oil.
- On one side of the griddle, sauté the green pepper and diced onion until slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Turkey & Rice
- Add ground turkey to the pepper and onion mix. Break it apart and cook until browned and cooked through (about 6 minutes or until internal temp hits 165°F).
- Meanwhile, on another part of the griddle, spread out the cooked brown rice and let it fry. Stir occasionally for a light crisp.
Step 4: Flavor Bomb It
- To the turkey mixture, stir in taco seasoning, water, salsa, corn, and sweet soy glaze. Mix thoroughly until everything is sticky and well-coated.
- Fold in the fried rice and mix everything together. Sprinkle cheese across the top and let it melt slightly before removing from heat.
Step 5: Build Your Tacos
- Warm your tortillas on the griddle or in the microwave.
- Drain the slaw if needed. Fill each tortilla with the turkey rice mixture and top with tangy cabbage slaw, gochujang mayo, diced tomato, sour cream, and crispy fried onions.
