A quick and easy taco rice bowl recipe packed with bold flavors, customizable toppings, and perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • Diced red onions or scallions
  • Jalapeño slices
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: If you don’t have leftover rice, cook 1 cup of white or brown rice according to package instructions. Set it aside to cool slightly.
  2. Cook the ground beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Season the beef: Add the taco seasoning and 1/3 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well to coat the meat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Prepare the toppings: While the beef is cooking, dice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and slice the lime into wedges. Set aside.
  5. Combine the rice and toppings: In a large mixing bowl, gently mix the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Add the seasoned beef and stir to combine.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the rice mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with diced avocado, shredded cheese, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño slices.
  7. Serve with a squeeze of lime: Add a lime wedge to each bowl for a fresh pop of zesty flavor.

Notes

[‘Use day-old rice for better texture and flavor absorption.’, ‘Don’t overcook the beef to avoid dryness.’, ‘Customize the heat level with extra chili powder or jalapeño slices.’, ‘Prep toppings and rice ahead of time to save on cooking time.’, ‘Taste as you go and adjust seasoning as needed.’]
