Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the white rice: Combine 2 cups white rice and 4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped yellow onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the 15 ounce can black beans and 15 ounce can corn. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and heating through.
  5. Serve the spiced beef and black bean mixture over the cooked white rice in bowls.

Notes

Customize your bowls with optional toppings like a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor.
