Taco Tuesday is always a favourite and this is a slightly different take on it where instead of throwing everything into tortillas it’s served over a bed of rice! This recipe is as easy as making a tasty taco seasoned beef while the rice cooks and then serving the beef over the rice along with your favourite taco toppings! I like to serve these taco rice bowls with shredded lettuce, beans, diced tomatoes (or pico de gallo (link)), salsa (homemade salsa (link) or store bought), diced avocado (or guacamole (link)), sour cream, and shredded cheese! No matter how you serve them, these taco rice bowls are quick and easy to make and sure to please everyone!
