Directions
- Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for about 3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef (or ground turkey) to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned, then drain excess fat.
- Sprinkle in your taco seasoning mix (2 tablespoons) and pour in 1/4 cup water, stirring to combine. Add 1 can of drained black beans and 1 cup of corn, mixing well. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through.
- Divide the fluffy rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the warm meat mixture, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced avocado.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with lime wedges on the side and optional toppings for customization.
