Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is cooked, drain excess fat if necessary. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Rice Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Veggies

    While the rice and beef are cooking, rinse the black beans and drain them. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the avocado, and prepare the shredded lettuce.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Carne Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the cooked rice as the base. Top with seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and shredded lettuce.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Finish off the bowl by adding shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
