Notes

  • You can lighten this meal up by using cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
  • If you like to add salad dressing to this bowl, a creamy cilantro dressing or ranch pairs well. 
  • If you’re out of ground beef, ground chicken, turkey, and pork can be used in place.
  • If there’s any liquid in the pan from the fat, be sure to drain it to keep the ground beef from being greasy. 
  • If you don't have olive oil, you can use any oil of your choice, like canola oil, vegetable oil, or sunflower oil, in place of it.
