Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade mix
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 cup crushed Doritos (Nacho Cheese or your favorite flavor)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook 2 cups of rice according to the package instructions. Optionally, cook in low-sodium chicken broth for added flavor. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Drain excess fat.
- Sprinkle 1 packet taco seasoning over the beef. Add 1/4 cup water and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Chop 1 cup lettuce, 1 cup tomatoes, 1/2 cup onions, and 1/4 cup cilantro. Drain and rinse 1 cup black beans. Set aside.
- In a large serving bowl, layer the cooked rice as the base. Spread the seasoned beef evenly over the rice.
- Add chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, and black beans on top of the beef.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables. Add sliced avocado if desired.
- Crush 1 cup Doritos and sprinkle over the bowl just before serving to maintain crunch.
- Add 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt on top. Garnish with extra cilantro and optional hot sauce.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace beef with plant-based crumbles or lentils.
Store Doritos separately until serving to maintain their texture.
Customize toppings according to taste: corn, bell peppers, or jalapeños work well.
