Taco Rice Bowl
Taco Rice Bowls
I find myself inspired to come back to my blog again. I've changed up the look a bit and am hoping that this return will inspire me to be creative in the kitchen again.
Tom and I have enjoyed dining out together so much during our relationships. We had a realization recently that we really need to be more conscious of what we are eating. Eating whatever we want when we eat out so much is starting to add up! (But I sure am grateful for how lucky we are to eat the way we do. So grateful!)
This bowl was inspired by our love of nachos- with a bit of a healthier spin. I must admit- portion size is something we continue to need to think of! This bowl is much healthier when you serve yourself less!
Unfortunately I don't have any great photos of this bowl. Another goal of mine is learning some techniques to photograph food well. Any suggestions?
Be flexible with what you add to this bowl! I like to make things based on what I love to eat. Let me know how you have made yours unique!

Ingredients:
- One pound of high quality ground meat (I used beef- but turkey, chicken or pork would work)
- Cooked rice (basmati, brown, jasmine)
- 1-2 red, yellow or orange bell peppers
- halved cherry tomatoes
- avocado
- your favourite salsa
- grated old cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese of your choice!)
- shredded romaine lettuce
- sour cream or cashew sour cream
- chili powder
- tortilla chips
Instructions:
- Cook rice according to the package directions.
- Brown the meat in a skillet. Season with chili powder. I like to cook it until it's brown and crispy. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon (leaving the fat in the pan).
- Cook diced peppers in the fat until softened, but still a bit crunchy.
- In an oven proof pan, layer rice, beef, peppers, grated cheese and salsa. The salsa can also be added later, based on your preference.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven until melty, crispy and heated through.
- Top with shredded lettuce, sour cream or cashew sour cream (many recipes online), avocado and crushed tortilla chips.
- Enjoy the deliciousness!!
Possible add ons: Olives, beans
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do. xo Gat
