Shopping List
    For the Beef
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (Note 1 for substitutions)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade) For the Bowl
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 to 3 cups cooked white rice (Note 2)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans Optional Toppings
  • avocado, hot sauce, crushed tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, and/or cilantro

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Cook the rice in a rice cooker, stovetop, or with a microwaveable option. As reference, 1 cup of uncooked rice will equal around 3 cups of cooked rice.
  2. Step 2: Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook, stirring only every minute or so, for 4 to 5 minutes. The vegetables will be ready when they are soft but still a bit crisp. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Step 3: Put the empty pan back over medium high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until no longer pink inside. Use the side of the spatula to break the meat into small pieces as it cooks.
  4. Step 4: Once the meat has cooked, drain any released liquid and then put it back in the pan with the taco seasoning and a good splash of water. Season with salt as desired. Cook the meat over medium heat until the water has cooked off, about 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  5. Step 5: Warm the refried beans in a pan or microwave until warm and creamy.
  6. Serve: Assembly time! Build your bowls with a scoop of warm rice, refried beans, beef, and pepper mix. Top with your favorite fixings and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Note 1: An equal amount of ground turkey or plant-based beef substitute can be used here. We also have tasty plant-based Taco Tofu Meat and Mushroom Walnut Taco Meat recipes.

Note 2: Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice makes a tasty grain-free option.
