I really like taco and burrito bowls and wanted to make something that was quick and easy at home. My husband and I really like how this turned out! Spoon into bowls and top with sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, lettuce, etc.

Skillet Burrito Bowl

vegetable oil

beef

fajita seasoning

(15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

(8 ounce) jar salsa

brown rice

Mexican cheese blend

Heat oil n a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir fajita seasoning into ground beef until evenly coated.


Mix pinto beans, salsa, and brown rice into ground beef mixture; top with Mexican cheese blend.


I only made changes because I didn't have all the correct ingredients. Thankfully this recipe is very forgiving. I substituted black beans for the pinto beans, white rice for the brown rice and a packet of taco seasoning instead of fajita seasoning. Super easy to prepare, easy to serve and it didn't destroy our kitchen. My wife and I really enjoyed it. I will make this one again!

Love this dish! But to make it better add fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the rice.

Cut way down on fat - used a bit of oil, ground turkey instead of beef. Did not need to cook rice ahead of time as I added 1 C instant brown rice with 1/2 C water and an undrained can of diced tomatoes with chilies and cilantro and let simmer (covered) until rice was done. The rice absorbed the liquid from the tomatoes and salsa.

I added green chilis to mine, and it turned out great!

I only cared for this just cooked. It is very different than a burrito places burrito bowl. It is more like a healthy scratch recipe for a hamburger helper with beans instead of the noodles. I used lean beef and simple subs I had to make were using chicken taco seasoning for fajita seasoning kidney beans for the pinto cooked farro for the brown rice and I made my own homemade fresh salsa today with tomatoes onions green peppers etc. I have to admit I liked it best before adding the cheese. It tasted much better on top. I later added extra homemade salsa to bring back the fresher flavor and a little extra seasoning. Just be careful with the seasoning if not wanting too much of a salty flavor. Either way it made for a quick meal on a busy day and I don't normally consider hamburger dishes high fiber ones.

Definitely remember the salsa if not allergic to onions, etc in Salsa. I also added sour cream. Pretty good.

Added black olives to toppings. Yes, I will definitely make this recipe again.

It was very bland so I added more of the fajita seasoning and some diced green chilies; very easy to make and serve over lettuce as a salad.

I don’t eat much Hispanic food but my husband loves it. I made this with a few changes
I used hot Italian sausage instead of beef
I added chopped onion and garlic
I also added a small can of jalapeños. 
Hubby rates it a 10!
