Ingredients

4 servings
Cooked grain base2 cups cooked
Red onion1 medium, diced
Bell pepper1 large, diced
Fresh cilantro1/4 cup chopped
Lime1 whole
Shredded cheese1 cup shredded
Salsa3/4 cup
Avocado or guacamole1 large or 1/2 cup guacamole
Olive oil2 tbsp

Method

1

Dice red onion and bell pepper. Chop cilantro. Cut avocado into slices. Have all toppings ready in separate bowls.

2

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the protein and cook until browned, about 8–10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.

3

Season with taco seasoning (or 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp oregano). Stir in cooked beans and warm through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

4

If grains are not already cooked, prepare them while the protein cooks. Warm cooked rice or grain base gently in a separate pot or microwave.

5

Divide warm grain base among four bowls. Top with the seasoned protein-and-bean mixture.

6

Arrange raw vegetables (red onion, bell pepper), avocado, and cilantro on top. Drizzle with salsa, sour cream, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

7

Serve warm bowls with warm tortillas on the side for wrapping or mixing in. Customize each bowl with preferred toppings and salsa.
