Ingredients

Simmered Black Beans

  • 1 tsp avocado oil
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 15 oz can black beans

Ground Beef

  • 1 lb 96% lean ground beef
  • 1 taco seasoning packet

For Assembly

  • 1 head romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup guacamole
  • 1/4 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 jalapeño sliced
  • cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  • For the black beans, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add oil, minced garlic and cumin. Sauté for 1 minute to soften the garlic and toast the cumin. Add the entire can of black beans (liquid too), stir, bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef, crumble with a wooden spoon and brown until mostly cooked through. Drain fat, if needed.
  • Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water and stir. Cook until the meat has cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • To assemble: add a layer of lettuce to the bowls. Top with taco meat, rice, black beans, corn and cheese. Garnish with guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeño slices and fresh cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge.
