Taco Rice

Ground beef does the heavy lifting here, with rice rounding it out. A Japanese dinner that takes 30 minutes, start to finish. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 38 grams of protein per serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 3 cups Rice
• 2 cups Lettuce
• 2 Tomato
• 1 cup Cheddar
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 Avocado

Steps

1. Brown the beef, breaking it fine, and stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water; simmer 5 minutes.
2. Fluff the hot rice into wide bowls — the rice is the tortilla here.
3. Layer the beef, shredded lettuce, tomato, and cheddar over the rice. The heat melts the cheese into the beef.
4. Top with salsa, sour cream, and avocado.
5. Eat with a spoon, mixing as you go. Born on Okinawa for American soldiers, perfected by everyone since.
