Loaded Beef Burrito Bowls

 

There are only a handful of meals my entire family can agree on. It seems to be a safe choice to choose Tex-Mex in our house.

This meal certainly checked all the boxes:

– Nacho beef
– Crunchy peppers
– Salsa
– Spicy rice

and my personal favourite; it comes together in 30 minutes 🎈🎈

This is how you make them

Bring 2 cups of water to boil and then add in the rice.  Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes – until the rice is cooked and all the water has been absorbed.

Stir the 1/4 cup salsa into the cooked rice; keep warm.

While the rice is cooking:

Preheat a frying pan over high, add oil and when it ripples add in the peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper.

Sauté on high, shaking the pan often.  You’re looking for charred (yummy) spots.

Set the veggies aside.

Return the same skillet over high heat and add the beef, brown until cooked through; season with salt and pepper.

Drain the excess fat (even though it’s extra lean there will be excess fat; drain in the garbage or any empty can, not your drain!).

Return the meat to the pan, still on high heat and add in the chilli powder, cumin and garlic powder; mix well and let it cook for about 30 – 60 seconds.

Add in the beef stock and let it simmer on medium until it thickens.

Taste and adjust seasoning

Then you build!

Grab a plate or bowl the put some rice in the centre.

Top the rice with the sautéed peppers and onion.

Top that with corn.

Then cheddar.

Then some of the beef mixture.

Then some sour cream – if using.

Then tomatoes and green onion.

Then some guacamole – if using.

Then some salsa – if using.

Finally, top with the iceberg lettuce.

Serve immediately 🙂

It’s everything you love about burritos without the wrap!
