Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion, breaking up the beef with a spoon. Cook until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2
Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the rinsed black beans and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
While the beef and bean mixture is simmering, prepare your toppings. Dice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and gather your salsa, shredded cheese, and sour cream/Greek yogurt. If using, thaw the frozen corn.
4
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the beef and black bean mixture.
5
Arrange the toppings over the beef and beans: a spoonful of salsa, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a garnish of fresh cilantro. Add thawed corn if desired.
6
Serve immediately and enjoy your customizable, hearty burrito bowls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes, you can easily make this vegetarian by substituting the ground beef with a plant-based ground crumble, or by using extra black beans and adding other vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini to the mixture.

How can I prepare this ahead of time?

The seasoned beef and black bean mixture can be cooked up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The rice can also be cooked ahead. Store toppings separately and assemble just before serving for the best freshness.

What other toppings can I add?

Feel free to get creative! Other great toppings include pickled jalapeños, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, finely shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
