Ingredients

For the Cilantro Lime Rice

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice rinsed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

For the Ground Beef

For the Bowls

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels thawed
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • Guacamole for serving
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over high heat, add the rice, salt, and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork, then stir in lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the ground beef, and cook, breaking it apart, for 7 minutes, until browned.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and taco seasoning. Pour the water and cook for 2–3 minutes until everything is well combined and the beef is saucy.
  • Assemble the bowls by dividing the cilantro lime rice among 4 bowls. Top with the seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and lettuce.
  • Add a generous scoop of guacamole on top and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • My Top Tip: Rinse your rice. It washes off the starch, which makes the rice nice and fluffy.
  • Storage: The cooked rice and cooked ground beef will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
