Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, for serving
- Taco sauce, for drizzling (optional)
- Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions:
- Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the taco bowls: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place small tortillas in oven-safe bowls or muffin tins, pressing them gently to form a bowl shape. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the taco bowls: Fill each taco bowl with cooked rice, seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced black olives, if using.
- Add toppings: Top the taco bowls with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a scoop of guacamole. Drizzle with taco sauce, if desired.
- Serve: Serve the beef taco bowls hot, garnished with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
