# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water according to packet instructions; simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavor.
02 -
Cook rice according to package directions. For enhanced flavor, substitute water with chicken broth or add a pinch of ground cumin to the cooking liquid. Fluff rice with a fork upon completion.
03 -
Spoon a layer of cooked rice into each serving bowl. Top with a generous portion of seasoned taco meat. Add desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado, black beans, or corn.
04 -
Just before serving, sprinkle a handful of lightly crushed nacho cheese Doritos over each bowl for added crunch and flavor.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
For added heat, include sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce. Substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, plant-based protein, or incorporate sautéed bell peppers and onions for a nutrient boost.
02 -
Change up the Doritos flavor to suit your preference, such as Cool Ranch or Spicy Sweet Chili.
03 -
Store leftover rice and meat separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and assemble fresh bowls as needed.
