Mexican Haystacks

An old friend posted this recipe on her Facebook and I knew instantly it would be a hit here! As the recipe says, "It's a party in your mouth!"

Adapted from Whole and Free

2 cups brown rice, uncooked

1 bunch cilantro

1-2 lbs ground beef or turkey or diced chicken
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp. garlic powder

2 cups salsa

2 avocados

2 mangoes

2 red peppers

Cook brown rice according to package directions (I always add another 1/2 c. water to mine to make it more sticky). Chop cilantro and stir together with rice. Cook meat together with onions, drain fat if necessary, and stir in garlic powder and salsa. Cook until heated through and slightly thickened. Dice avocados, mangoes, and red peppers. Assemble as desired and enjoy!
