Cooking Steps
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked white rice with 2 cups of water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 18 minutes. Let sit covered for 5 minutes to fluff.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 1 pound of ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Sprinkle in taco seasoning and mix well.
- To the skillet, add one drained can of black beans, 1 cup of corn, and 1 cup of diced tomatoes. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes until heated through.
- In serving bowls, layer rice, then add the meat mixture, topped with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, and salsa.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges, encouraging everyone to squeeze lime over their bowls.

Notes
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for best flavor. Rinse rice before cooking for fluffiness. Adjust seasoning to taste and experiment with toppings like avocado or jalapeños. Double recipe for meal prep-friendly leftovers.
