Description

This taco bowl recipe delivers bold Tex-Mex flavor in every bite—perfect for meal prep, busy weeknights, or taco night with a twist. Featuring seasoned protein, fluffy rice, crisp veggies, and creamy toppings, it’s a satisfying, easy-to-customize meal that always hits the spot.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or chicken (or chipotle black beans for vegetarian)

  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)

  • 1 cup rice (white, brown, or cauliflower – cooked)

  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 cup corn kernels (grilled or canned)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1–2 lime wedges

  • 1 cup tortilla chips or strips (for crunch)


Instructions

 

  1. Cook the Protein
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground meat with taco seasoning until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.

  2. Warm Beans & Corn
    In a small pan, warm beans and corn with a pinch of cumin and chili powder for extra flavor.

  3. Build the Bowl
    Layer with:

    • ½–1 cup rice or lettuce base

    • A scoop of taco meat

    • Black beans and corn

    • Tomatoes, avocado, and cheese

    • A dollop of sour cream or yogurt

  4. Add Final Touches
    Top with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and crushed tortilla chips.

Notes

  1. Vegetarian? Use spiced black beans or tofu crumbles.
  2. Low-carb? Swap rice for cauliflower rice or lettuce.
  3. Make ahead? Store base and toppings separately and assemble fresh.
  4. Add a creamy kick: Blend sour cream + lime juice + chipotle powder for an easy crema.
