Description

These easy taco bowls are loaded with seasoned ground beef, fluffy rice, crisp romaine, creamy avocado, black beans, corn, and juicy tomatoes, all topped with zesty cilantro lime dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups shredded romaine
  • 2 avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can of corn
  • 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 4 oz shredded microbial-rennet cheese (optional)
  • 1 batch creamy jalapeno dressing
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges to garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown: Brown the beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Stir in the taco seasoning with water and cook until combined and thickened.
  2. Assemble: Assemble the bowls with white rice, shredded romaine, avocado, black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, onion, cheese, and a drizzle of dressing. Serve with fresh cilantro and lime juice.

Notes

Store the beef and rice separately from toppings in airtight containers for up to 4 days. For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice or serve as a salad on a bed of lettuce.
