Instructions
Making the Easy Taco Rice Bowl is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Rice: If not already done, cook your rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground meat. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Season the Meat: Once the meat is cooked, drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water (about ¼ cup) to the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for a few minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, layer the cooked rice, seasoned meat, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Mix gently to combine.
5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with shredded lettuce, cheese, red onion, avocado, and any other desired toppings like sour cream and salsa.
