A hearty and flavorful Taco Rice Bowl that brings the joys of taco night into a comforting bowl of rice and delicious toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked rice and water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes) until fluffy.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once the meat is cooked through, drain any excess fat (if using beef). Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water (about 2-3 tablespoons). Stir until well combined and simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with the seasoned meat. Cook for another 5 minutes until warmed through and everything is nicely mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. By now, the rice should be ready. Fluff it with a fork and get ready to assemble!
  6. In bowls, create a base of rice. Top generously with the meat mixture, then add your favorite toppings: shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa, and any optional garnishes like cilantro and lime wedges.
  7. Enjoy your vibrant, flavor-packed bowl!
