Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ cup chunky salsa
  • 15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 15 oz can corn drained
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 4 oz can diced green chiles
  • 1 cup dry basmati rice rinsed
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • 1 large tomato chopped
  • Cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for around 2 minutes.
  • Now, add in the ground beef, break it apart with a spatula, and cook until it browns up, stirring throughout. It should take around 7-8 minutes. Drain the skillet of grease. Add some salt and black pepper to the skillet according to your tastes.
  • Now, add salsa, black beans, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, basmati rice, taco seasoning, chili powder, and chicken broth. Give the skillet a very good stir.
  • Cover the pan, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice has fully cooked.
  • Stir, salt, and pepper the skillet, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon the burrito into bowls, cover with avocado, green onion, tomato, and cilantro before serving.
