A few weeks back, John had dental work done - I think I mentioned it. Anyway, he was ordered to eat softer foods for at least a week. He was craving tacos, but obviously could not have crunchy shells so I decided to throw together all the elements of a standard taco - sans shell.
Taco Rice Bowl
Serves 4
Ingredients (you have a lot of flexibility here):
- 1 pound taco meat cooked (ground meat with taco seasoning)
- 1 can black or refried beans prepared (black bean recipe to follow)
- 1 package Mexican or Spanish style rice prepared (buy boxed or make the equivalent of 1 cup uncooked rice from scratch)
- Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, jalapeno, onion, sour cream, ranch, tortilla chips if you haven't just had dental work, etc.)
How to Assemble Taco Rice Bowls:
- Layer your ingredients in a bowl. That was easy :) Here is the order I used - taco meat, black beans, rice, lettuce, then all the other toppings.
Here is a bonus! For the black beans, I do not just open up the can and heat them up because that would be pretty gross. For me, everything has to have flavor.
Seasoned Black Beans Ingredients:
- 1 can black beans with juice
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1/4" onion diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
How to Make Seasoned Black Beans:
- Combine all of your ingredients in a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat until done. your onion should be translucent and your beans soft. This takes about 15-20 minutes.
