Taco Bowl Recipe
Turns out tacos are not just for Tuesdays! This taco bowl is a customizable and easy recipe that we know you’ll love!
Ingredients
Meat:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- Taco seasoning to taste (we used salt and pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne/chili powder). A good rule of thumb is 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning for every pound of ground beef.
Rice:
- 1 cup white rice, rinsed
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup water or chicken broth
- 2 bell peppers, sliced and sauteed
- 1 yellow onion, sliced and sauteed
- 1 cup per person chopped romaine lettuce (or another chopped lettuce)
Optional Toppings:
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 mango, diced
- Salsa, hot sauce, sliced jalapenos for heat
- Fresh cilantro
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add a neutral oil and allow to get hot, then add the diced onion and taco seasoning spices.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then add in the ground beef. Cook until the taco meat is fully cooked through. If you want to keep the ground beef mixture warm, place it in oven-safe bowls and keep it in the oven in a warming setting.
- Rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Heat a medium saucepan and add the rinsed rice and liquid. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook until the liquid is completely absorbed. If you have one, you can use a rice cooker.
- Prepare your other toppings: wash and cut lettuce, cut and saute veggies, slice mango and jalapeno, or any of your other favorite toppings.
- Once you have your prepared toppings, you can serve them separately for a build-your-own-taco bowl or plate them up and enjoy them right away!
