Start by cooking your rice according to package instructions. You can prepare it plain or add some flavor with broth or seasonings.
02 -
While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the lean ground beef to the skillet.
03 -
Stir the beef as it cooks, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Once the beef has browned completely, add the taco seasoning along with 1/3 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the liquid has thickened, stirring occasionally.
04 -
Divide the cooked rice, seasoned beef, corn, black beans, and shredded cheese evenly among four meal prep containers. If eating immediately, top with pico de gallo and guacamole if desired.
05 -
If preparing these bowls for later in the week, package any pico de gallo and guacamole separately to prevent the taco bowls from becoming soggy during storage.
