Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade: 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, salt & pepper to taste)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 avocado, diced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Lime wedges, for serving

Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

    Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

      Season the Beef: Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and stir to coat the beef and onions evenly. Pour in the diced tomatoes (include their juices), black beans, and corn. Stir well and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

        Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base. Top each bowl with the beef and bean mixture.

          Add Toppings: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and diced avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and any additional toppings you'd like such as hot sauce or lime juice.

            Serve: Enjoy your beef and bean burrito bowls warm, with lime wedges on the side for that zesty kick!
