Learn how to make the ultimate beef burrito bowls with bold flavors, easy customization, and meal prep tips. Perfect for busy weeknights or setting up a burrito bowl bar for a crowd.
Ingredients
- 1 lb leftover shredded beef or taco seasoned ground beef
- 15 oz canned black beans drained and rinsed
- 15 oz canned corn drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup plain Greek Yogurt or sour cream
- 2 cups cilantro lime rice cooked
- lime wedges
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 head romaine lettuce washed and chopped
- ½ cup pico de gallo or salsa
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
Instructions
- Warm the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook your choice of cooked ground beef or leftover shredded beef until heated through. If using ground beef, cook until browned and drain off any excess grease. Season with taco seasoning or a simple mix of chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Prep the base: In a small saucepan, prepare your cilantro lime rice (or brown rice/cauliflower rice) according to package instructions. Use chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor. Once cooked, fluff with a wooden spoon and add some fresh, chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Assemble your bowl: Start with a generous scoop of rice. Layer on romaine lettuce, black beans, corn, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, avocado, and any other favorite toppings. Add a squeeze of lime and garnish with fresh cilantro.
