Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Taco Rice Bowl:

1. Cook the Rice: If not using pre-cooked rice, prepare your rice according to the package instructions. For added flavor, stir in taco seasoning once cooked.

2. Prepare the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground meat of your choice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.

3. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle taco seasoning over the cooked meat, and pour in water. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.

4. Prepare Toppings: While the meat simmers, chop and prepare your toppings: shred lettuce, dice tomatoes, and slice jalapeños and avocado if using.

5. Assemble the Bowl:
– Start with a base of rice in each bowl.
– Top with the seasoned meat mixture.
– Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
– Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
– Finish with jalapeños, cilantro, and avocado if desired.

6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Taco Rice Bowl while everything is warm. Feel free to add additional hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick!

These easy-to-follow steps guarantee that you create an incredible Taco Rice Bowl that stands out in both flavor and presentation.
