Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef (lean)
• 1 yellow onion (small, diced)
• 2 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
• 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 package pre-cooked brown rice
• 0.5 cup fresh salsa
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and yellow onion, breaking up the beef with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
2. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans, and frozen corn. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.
3. While the beef mixture cooks, prepare the pre-cooked brown rice according to package directions (usually microwave for 90 seconds per pouch).
4. Divide the brown rice among four bowls. Top with the Mexican ground beef mixture. Serve with fresh salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

You can customize these bowls with your favorite toppings like sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
