Total Time45 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
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 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
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.
- 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.
