Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning packet
  • cup water
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 Tablespoon fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • ½ cup red onion diced
  • 1 medium avocado diced
  • ½ cup corn canned, fresh, or frozen
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 2 roma tomatoes chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and ⅔ cup water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef. Remove from heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt to make the cilantro lime crema. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
  • To assemble the taco bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls as the base.
  • Top each bowl with the seasoned taco meat, red onion, avocado, corn, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Drizzle the cilantro lime crema over the bowls and garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences. For a vegetarian option, replace the beef with a plant-based protein. This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger gathering.
