Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked white rice (or brown/cilantro-lime rice) (per bowl, hot and fluffy)
- 1/2 cup taco-seasoned ground beef (per bowl, juicy and saucy (see mix below))
- 1/4 cup black beans (canned, rinsed & drained; per bowl)
- 1/4 cup corn (canned (drained) or frozen (thawed); per bowl)
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (per bowl, freshly grated for best melt)
- 2 tbsp salsa or pico de gallo (per bowl)
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (per bowl)
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or ~2 tbsp)
- 1/2 cup water
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook Your Rice: Cook 1 cup rice per bowl according to package directions (stovetop or rice cooker). Keep it hot and fluffy. Tip: Rinse white rice until water runs clear; add a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt after cooking for extra flavor.
- Step 2: Brown & Season the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 lb (450 g) ground beef, breaking it up; cook until browned, 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat. Return to heat, sprinkle in taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Stir and simmer 3–5 minutes until saucy and glossy. If dry, add 1–2 tbsp water.
- Step 3: Prep the Toppings: Rinse & drain black beans. Drain or thaw corn. Chop cilantro. Tip: Warm beans and corn briefly (30–60 seconds in the microwave) so they don’t cool the bowl.
- Step 4: Assemble the Burrito Bowl: Spoon hot rice into each bowl. Add 1/2 cup seasoned beef, 1/4 cup black beans, and 1/4 cup corn in neat sections. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar to melt. Finish with 2 tbsp salsa and 1 tbsp cilantro. Optional: lime wedge for garnish.
