Do this

  1. 1If you are using raw ground turkey: skillet, medium-high, oil, 6–8 minutes until no pink. Salt it. If you have leftover chicken, skip this and chop it.
  2. 2Warm rice and beans (microwave 60–90 seconds).
  3. 3Bowl order that does not get soggy: rice, beans, spinach, meat, salsa, yogurt, cheese.
  4. 4Stir right before you eat so the yogurt turns into a sauce.
  5. 5If you are actually starving, add another 1/4 cup beans or a second scoop of yogurt — cheaper than a second burrito off campus.
