Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef (90/10)
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 cup Bone Broth
  • 1.5 cups Long-grain White Rice
  • 2.25 cups Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Lime, zested and juiced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 cup Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup Charred Corn
  • 1 large Avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. In a medium pot, add water and salt; bring to a boil, then add rice, reduce to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
  2. While rice cooks, heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat with avocado oil until it shimmers and wisps of smoke appear. Add the ground beef and sear without moving for 3 minutes to develop a dark brown crust.
  3. Break up the beef and stir in cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and sea salt.
  4. Deglaze the skillet with bone broth, scraping up the browned bits (fond). Simmer until the liquid reduces into a thick glaze.
  5. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently fold in the lime juice, lime zest, and chopped cilantro.
  6. Assemble the bowls by layering the lime rice, savory beef, black beans, charred corn, avocado slices, and shredded cheddar cheese.
