    0.25 tsp Black Pepper

  • 1

Directions

1

Brown the Ground Beef

Place a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break the beef apart with a spatula. 'Browning' the meat means cooking it until it loses its pink color.

2

Drain Excess Fat

Once the beef is browned, carefully drain any excess fat from the pan. You can use a colander or tilt the pan and spoon the grease out. Be cautious, the pan will be hot!

3

Season the Beef

Add the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the browned beef. Stir well to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the spices. 'Seasoning' is adding spices to enhance the flavor of the food.

4

Simmer the Beef

Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low. Let the meat simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced. 'Simmering' is cooking just below the boiling point, allowing the flavors to meld.

5

Prepare Vegetables

While the beef is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, tomato, and red onion. 'Chopping' is cutting the vegetables into small, even pieces.

6

Assemble the Bowl

In a bowl, layer the cooked rice as a base. Add the seasoned ground beef on top of the rice. Then, add the chopped romaine lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

7

Add Toppings

Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and salsa. You can adjust the amounts based on your preference.

8

Serve

Serve your taco bowl immediately. You can add a lime wedge for extra flavor. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the fridge.
  • Customize your bowl with other toppings such as avocado, jalapenos, or black beans.
  • For a spicier bowl, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
