Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning about 1 ounce
  • 1 cup 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
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice as the base. Top with the taco meat mixture.
  5. Add shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream on top.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowl.
