Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef or turkey
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice (gluten-free certified)
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional, ensure gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 whole Avocado (sliced or diced)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
• 1 whole Lime (cut into wedges)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then return it to the heat.

Step 4

Add chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked meat. Stir to coat the meat evenly with the seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

Step 5

While the meat is cooking, prepare the taco bowl base by placing 1/2 cup of cooked rice in each serving bowl.

Step 6

Top the rice with a portion of the seasoned meat mixture, followed by black beans, cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).

Step 7

Add avocado slices, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro to each bowl.

Step 8

Serve the taco bowls with a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing over the top and enjoy!
