Beef Taco Bowl

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the brown rice

   • Rinse the brown rice under cold water.
   • In a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of rice with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt.
   • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
   • Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
2. 2

   Prepare the seasoned beef

   • While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
   • Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Pour in 1/2 cup of water, bring to a simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
