  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 can black beans (15 ounces), rinsed and drained
– 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 avocado, diced (optional)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
– Salsa or pico de gallo (for serving)
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
– Lime wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Creating the Easy Ground Beef Burrito Bowl is straightforward and can be done in just a few simple steps:

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Seasoning: Drain excess fat if necessary, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Prepare the Base: While the beef cooks, prepare your rice according to package instructions if you haven’t already done so.
4. Combine Ingredients: Once the beef is ready, lower the heat and stir in the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, until heated through.
5. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked rice, then top with the beef mixture.
6. Add Toppings: Finish off each bowl with toppings of choice: diced avocado, shredded cheese, salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a splash of freshness.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you’ll easily create an incredibly satisfying dish that’s packed with flavor.
