Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1 lb. Ground beef
  • 1 packet Taco seasoning

Base

  • 2 cups Cooked rice (white, brown, or Mexican-style)

Toppings

  • 1 cup Shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup Diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup Black beans or corn kernels
  • 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

Crunch

  • 2 cups Nacho cheese Doritos (lightly crushed)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Taco Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until evenly browned. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
  2. Season the Meat: Add the taco seasoning packet along with the amount of water specified on the package. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the beef can absorb all the spices.
  3. Prepare the Rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions. For added flavor, consider cooking rice with chicken broth instead of water or adding a pinch of cumin to the cooking liquid.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Start each serving with a base of the cooked rice. Top the rice with a generous scoop of the seasoned taco meat.
  5. Add Fresh Toppings: Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black beans or corn, and shredded cheese over the meat and rice base.
  6. Include Creamy Elements: Add dollops of sour cream and salsa or pico de gallo for creaminess and zing. Place sliced avocado or a spoonful of guacamole on top to enhance richness.
  7. Add the Crunch: Just before serving, sprinkle a handful of lightly crushed Nacho cheese Doritos over the bowl to introduce a satisfying crunchy texture to every bite.

Notes

  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.
  • Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for a different protein option.
  • For added spice, include sliced jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Try different Doritos flavors like Cool Ranch for variety.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, check that your taco seasoning and Doritos are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers are best stored without the Doritos to avoid sogginess; add fresh Doritos when reheating.
