Burrito's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we are trying to be good on the"healthy and money" front, so instead of going to Chipotle (like I wanted to) - and I brought Chipotle to the Sodahl household!  It wasn't quite as good cause I didn't get my chips/quac, but it was yummy!!  I used ground turkey - then made up some green peppers, red onion, white onion (just like they do at Chipotle....) -- then made up homemade salsa and rice -- and topped with Pepper Jack cheese.

Homemade Salsa (Tiffany blog)
3 tomatoes, cut into four pieces
3 cloves of garlic
Fresh cilantro
Lime juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
Jalapenos (as many as you'd like)

Cilantro Lime Rice (Tiffany blog)
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
½ tsp. salt
½ cup fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped

Combine the rice, 2 cups water and salt in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat.  Bring to a boil, stir briefly, cover and reduce the heat to low.  Let cook, covered, until the water is absorbed and rice is fluffy and tender, 16-18 minutes. While the rice is cooking, combine the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic and 2 tablespoons water in a blender or food processor.  Blend until smooth.  Stir the mixture into the cooked rice and fluff with a fork
