I absolutely love the rice bowls from Qdoba. I could probably eat them every day. And with a Mexican Coke, it’s the perfect meal.
But eating out is obviously costly. So I’ve decided to make a Taco Rice Bowl at home.
What’s cool about this meal is that you can totally make it your own. Change up the rice, add salsa, mix in some southwest-style corn. The options are endless. But here’s my take on it!
Ingredients
Cooked, white rice
Ground beef
Taco seasoning
Pinto beans
Black beans
Chopped romaine lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Sliced olives
Diced onions
Sour Cream
Guacamole or diced avocados
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Tortilla chips
Directions
- Cook the white rice according to package directions.
- In a separate pan, cook ground beef until done. Season with taco seasoning as it cooks. Drain.
- Heat pinto and black beans.
- Create your bowl! Add rice, beans, taco meat, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, avocadoes, onions, and sour cream. Garnish with chips for dipping.
- Dig in!
This really is a great and easy option for a quick mid-week meal or a grab and go for work or school. Everything heats easily and you can mix and match depending on what you feel like.
Options
You can use so many options to make this a different meal each time.
Rice – choose from white, brown, Spanish, Mexican, or mix them!
Protein – chicken, beef, steak, ground turkey. The options here are endless.
Additional toppings – salsa, queso, fajita vegetables, cotija cheese
