Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Begin by preparing the white rice according to the package instructions. Aim for fluffy rice that will serve as the hearty base for your bowls—this should take about 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook it until it's nicely browned and caramelized, which should take around 5-7 minutes. Remember to drain any excess fat for a leaner dish.
- Next, add your chopped bell peppers to the skillet with the browned beef. Sauté them together until the peppers are softened and fragrant, which takes about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir the drained black beans and your chosen salsa into the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Grab your individual bowls and layer in the fluffy rice first. Top each bowl generously with the beef and vegetable mixture you've just cooked.
- Complete your burrito bowls by adding slices of ripe avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for a bright, zesty finish before serving.
Notes
Optional: Top with jalapeños or shredded cheese for an extra kick. Keep leftovers fresh in airtight containers for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave for just 1-2 minutes.
