One-meal grill recipes food

Grilling is a social affair.

Whether it’s the slow, smokey burn of charcoal or the efficiency and ease of propane, this outdoor pastime tends to bring friends and family around the “barbie.” The spectacular thing about grilling is the versatility of meal prep. Albeit “burgers and dogs” are a sizzling staple, in many cases entire meals can be prepared in one spot, which means more time with those friends and family members and perhaps even fewer dishes.

Here are some one-meal grill recipes we found that are not only tasty but also healthy!

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb. lean ground turkey

• 3-4 bell peppers (assorted colors based on preference)

• 2 ripe avocados

• 1 large white onion

• 1 15 oz. can of black beans, drained (seasoned or unseasoned based on preference)

• 1 packet taco seasoning

• 3 tbsp. olive oil

• 1 8-pack tortilla wraps

• Aluminum foil

Directions

Heat grill to medium heat for propane, or glowing coals for charcoal. Slice onions, peppers and avocados. Set aside avocado slices, as you will be adding these to the wraps later. Remove tortilla wraps from packaging and place into an aluminum foil pouch and set aside.

Place cast iron skillet on grill and heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil. When oil is glistening, add onions, peppers and half of taco seasoning pack and sauté. When vegetables are soft, carefully remove from skillet. Add 1 tbsp. (remaining) of olive oil and heat. Add ground turkey to skillet and brown. Once turkey is cooked thoroughly, add black beans and remaining taco seasoning, stir until combined. Warm a foil pouch of tortilla wraps on the grill for 3-5 minutes. Now, simply grab a warm tortilla wrap and add in the turkey and black bean mixture along with some sautéed veggies and sliced avocados.

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes to 1 hour

• 3 tbsp. Worcestershire

• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp. onion powder

• 1 large round steak, cut into 3 to 4 pieces and tenderized

• Salt

• Pepper

• 3 medium red potatoes, thinly sliced

• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

• 1 small white onion, thinly sliced

• 1 medium green pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

• 2 tbsp. olive oil

• 1 tsp. dried parsley

Directions

Heat grill to medium heat for propane, or glowing coals for charcoal. In a small bowl combine Worcestershire, garlic powder and onion powder. Brush both sides of each steak liberally with marinade. Season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, carrots, onion, green pepper, olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat vegetables in oil.

Place each piece of steak on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Divide veggies equally among each sheet. Wrap each sheet of foil tightly around steak and veggies. Wrap each packet again in a second piece of foil.

Place foil packets on grill and cook on medium for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 45 minutes to 1 hour until meat is done and veggies tender, turning occasionally.
