Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade blend
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced
- Shredded lettuce
- Shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese alternative
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
- While the meat cooks, prepare your rice according to package instructions or use pre-cooked rice. Warm the black beans and corn for quick assembly.
- Start with a bed of rice in each bowl. Top with seasoned ground meat, then add black beans, corn, and chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
Notes
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until hot, adding a splash of water to keep toppings moist. Store toppings separately for longer freshness.
