Deconstructed Taco Bowl

Step 1

Pre-cooking note- If you are cooking grains, get those started. (Want flavoured rice? See notes.)

Step 2

In a large skillet with deep sides, brown the ground beef along with the garlic and onion on medium-high heat.

Step 3

While beef is cooking, combine all the taco seasoning ingredients in a small mixing bowl and prepare the add-ins you will be using.

Step 4

Once browned add the beans and chopped pepper. Cook for a few more minutes to heat the beans through and to make the peppers tender-crisp.

Step 5

Stir in the spice mix. Stir until the corn starch thickens the sauce and then remove from the heat. Note: To thicken, the liquid has to come back to a boil, so don’t turn the heat down until it does!

Step 6

Assemble your taco bowls and enjoy!
