Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix 1 ounce
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

  5. Top the rice with the seasoned beef, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese.
