Ingredients

Essentials:

  • 1 lb. Ground beef
  • 1 packet Taco seasoning
  • 2 cups Cooked rice (white, brown, or Mexican-style)
  • 2 cups Nacho cheese Doritos (lightly crushed)

Optional Toppings:

  • 1 cup Shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup Diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • ½ cup Sour cream
  • ½ cup Salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1 Sliced avocado or ½ cup Guacamole
  • ½ cup Black beans or corn kernels

Instructions

  1. Cook the Taco Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water as per the packet instructions. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Prepare the Rice: Cook your rice according to package instructions. For extra flavor, use chicken broth or add a pinch of cumin to the water.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Add a generous scoop of taco meat on top. Layer on your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, beans, and cheese.
  4. Add the Crunch: Sprinkle a handful of lightly crushed Doritos over the top just before serving. This adds the perfect crunchy texture to every bite.
