Dinner: Mexican Burgers

So, as I touched on earlier I am a very broke college student, or shall I say "budget restricted" individual. But even MORE restricted is time in our household. James has a full time job and I am a full time student WITH school extra curriculars. SO, dinner is generally a day-of, hour-of matter.
Here is something we threw together on the spot that surprisingly was quite tasty, and paleo :) By the way, I am addicted to grilling food. If there isn't a storm, then we are opting to grill as much as possible. This mixture came to me as I stared into the cupboards and let the music inside my head take the reigns. Avocados, turkey meat, fajita packet? Mexican food! Ish....





Mexican Burger
-Sweet potato slices as "buns". Slice about 1/2 inch thick and grill for 3 minutes
-Ground turkey: mixed with a bit of water, and a fajita spices packet. Add diced onions.
(I used 1 onion, and save under half for grilled onion toppers)
toss on the grill!

Side Dish
- Roasted carrots: slice large carrots into halves, then in half add a bit of water and fajita packet seasoning for an added spice. Oven at 350* for 10 minutes of until carrots tenderize. oh and some green bell peppers.
- Black beans!


For Paleo toppings, we went with guacamole and grilled ones! Would be yummy to try some roasted tomatoes, as well. I made the patties mini :)

It was quick, easy, and filling!
