Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (I use 93/7)
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 can (15 oz) black beans drained & rinsed

Toppings For Serving Bowls

3 cups cooked rice (about 1/2 cup per bowl)
corn (steamable, frozen, or canned)
shredded cheese
diced roma tomatos, pico de gallo
guacamole, avocado slices
sour cream
chopped fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños
finely diced red onion

Instructions

In a large skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until it's no longer pink and cooked through. Drain any excess fat or grease from the skillet pan.
1 pound lean ground beef
Stir in the taco seasoning packet and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until thickened.
1 packet taco seasoning, 1 cup water
Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
1 can (15 oz) black beans
Assemble The Taco Bowls : Place a scoop of rice in the bottom of the serving dish, top with a scoop of the taco meat, and then finish it off with all your favorite taco toppings just how you like it.
^{* I recommend setting out bowls of different taco toppings and letting everyone create their own taco bowl.}
3 cups cooked rice, corn, shredded cheese, diced roma tomatos, pico de gallo, guacamole, avocado slices, sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, finely diced red onion

Notes

Nutrition Information : Amounts listed include 1 serving of the ground beef and black bean taco meat + 1/2 cup of cooked white rice. Any additional toppings and/or different rice choice will obviously change those amounts.

Corn : If using canned corn be sure to drain it well. Try using a can of southwestern corn, fiesta corn, gold n' white corn, or plain sweet yellow corn. You can also use a steamable bag of corn and cook according to the package directions.

Rice : Cook white rice, minute rice, brown rice, cook a microwaveable pouch of Mexican rice, or try making some Mexican rice or cilantro lime rice at home.
