Description
This quick and comforting burrito bowl blends savory ground beef, warm rice, melty cheddar, and bright salsa for a flavorful weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break it up with a spoon so pieces are small and even. Season lightly with salt and pepper as it cooks. When fully browned, drain excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning, salsa, black beans, and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients and coat the beef. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and the salsa has slightly reduced.
- Stir in the cooked rice until everything is well combined and heated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cook 1–2 minutes more so the rice warms through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover the skillet or close the lid for a minute to let the cheese melt. Serve the mixture in bowls and top with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Notes
Use 85–90% lean beef for good flavor without too much grease. Day-old rice works best for texture.
