Notes
- Break up the beef well: Cooking the ground beef into small crumbles helps it mix more evenly with the seasoning and makes the bowls easier to eat.
- Drain if needed: If your beef gives off a lot of grease, drain the excess so the bowls do not feel too heavy.
- Warm the toppings if you want: The black beans and corn can be added cold or warmed slightly depending on how you want to serve the bowls.
- Set everything out for easy serving: Laying out all the components makes it easy for everyone to build their own taco bowl.
- Great for leftovers: Store the beef, rice, and toppings separately so the bowls stay fresher for meal prep.
