Quick Mexican Beef Rice Bowls

olive oil

onion, finely diced

tsp garlic

beef

400 g (14 oz) canned black beans, kidney beans or mixed beans

tsp sweet paprika

tsp cumin

oregano

garlic powder

onion powder

tsp sea salt flakes

black pepper

tomato paste (concentrated puree)

400 g (14 oz) canned crushed tomatoes or tomato passata

(60 ml) water

(370 g) steamed rice

avocado

lime juice

Sea salt flakes,

black pepper,

(125 g) grated cheddar

(150 g) grape tomatoes, halved

coriander (cilantro),

jalapeño, sliced (optional)

Lime wedges

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep, heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes until softened.

Add the beef and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned.

Add the kidney beans, spices, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Stir through the tomato paste followed immediately by the crushed tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook over medium–low heat, uncovered, for 12 minutes.

To make the Mexican Beef

Add 1–2 tablespoons of the sauce to the rice and stir to combine so that the grains are coated (this step is optional but gives a lovely boost of flavour to the rice).

In a small bowl, mash the avocado roughly with a fork, add the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Divide the rice among four bowls. Top with the Mexican beef, shredded cheese, a dollop of the mashed avocado, the grape tomatoes, fresh coriander, jalapeño slices and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.

To serve

Super simple and delicious dish. Perfect for a summer night. Family loved it!

Another favorite not only for dinner but the leftovers make for an amazing lunch the next day. My favorite part about this dish is that the ground beef is more than just plain old ground beef that you'd cook for tacos-- the spices along with the addition of tomato sauce/passata give it a bit of a chili flair that makes it so good for a rice bowl!

Delicious, quick dinner with lots of fresh flavours. Kids loved it too!

Such a versatile recipe! The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of water but is not included in the instructions. I just add mine after I have added the crushed tomatoes… hope that’s right!

Delish. Will make again. Kids loved it. I replaced kidney beans with black beans &amp; served with some corn chips on the side. Versatile mince dish, can be used in anything
