Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika blend)
  • 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)

Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh salsa or diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 avocado or ½ cup guacamole
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 2 lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Cook rice according to package instructions or warm cauliflower rice for a lighter alternative. Set aside while preparing beef and toppings.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Season the Beef: Sprinkle taco seasoning over cooked beef. Stir to coat evenly. Add a splash of water if needed. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let flavors meld.
  4. Prepare the Toppings: Chop lettuce, dice tomatoes or prepare salsa, shred cheese, slice avocado, and chop cilantro. Cut lime wedges for garnish.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Layer rice or cauliflower rice in bowls. Spoon seasoned beef on top, then add black beans. Arrange lettuce, salsa, cheese, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Use lean beef to reduce grease and keep the dish hearty.
  • Slice and prepare fresh toppings just before serving to preserve texture and flavor.
  • Toast taco seasoning lightly in the pan before adding beef for deeper flavor.
  • Always add a squeeze of lime to brighten the dish.
  • Serve in warm bowls to keep the meal cozy and delicious longer.
