Easiest Burrito Bowl Meal Prep

Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked rice.
• 1 lb. ground turkey or beef
• Taco seasoning
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 can black beans
• 4 oz. cheese
• 1 1/3 cup salsa
• 2 green onions

Directions

1. Start with the rice, since everything else can come together while it cooks. Prepare it according to the directions on its package. For about 4 cups of white rice, use 1.5 cups uncooked rice with 2.5 cups water, though the right amount can change depending on the type of rice, so check your package.
2. While the rice is going, put the ground turkey or beef in a skillet and cook it over medium heat until no longer raw. If your meat is very lean, add a small amount of oil so it does not stick to the pan.
3. When the meat is cooked through, stir in the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Let the mixture simmer, stirring as needed, until the liquid cooks down into a saucy coating, about 5 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat and set the meat aside.
4. Thaw the corn kernels, then rinse and drain the black beans. Shred the cheese and slice the green onions.
5. When the rice is done, use a fork to fluff it, then portion it into 4 containers. Add the remaining 6 bowl components to the containers too: the taco meat, corn, beans, cheese, salsa and green onions.
6. Warm the bowls for 1-2 minutes before eating, just long enough to melt the cheese and heat the meat and rice all the way through.
