Preparation
- Step 1
Brown turkey and beef in heavy-bottomed hot skillet. Set aside and drain off all fat.
- Step 2
Heat oil in skillet and add onions. Saute until onions soften and begin to turn golden.
- Step 3
Place water and rice in small pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is done and water has been absorbed, a total of 17 minutes.
- Step 4
Meanwhile, return beef and turkey to pan with onions, along with raisins, tomato paste, almonds, chili, cinnamon, cloves, tomatoes and tomato juice and simmer while rice cooks. Mixture should be thick, but not dry.
- Step 5
When rice is cooked, stir into meat mixture.
- Step 6
Serve wrapped in large tortillas (see recipe below) or with tortillas on the side.

Excellent recipe. Loved the texture and flavor layer of the toasted (I used slivered) almonds. Oddly the recipe omitted green olives…gotta have the chopped green olives! I added them and served with a minced jalapeño garnish, rice and black beans. Scrumptious!
