Meal Prep Burrito Bowls

First, cook the rice according to package directions. This is your base, so getting it right is key. For white rice, use approximately 1.5 cups uncooked rice and 2.5 cups water.

Next, while the rice is cooking, cook your ground turkey or beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil as needed to prevent sticking. Cooking the meat while the rice cooks saves time.

Once the meat is fully cooked, add the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Stir well and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the water reduces to a saucy consistency. This infuses the meat with delicious taco flavor.

While the meat simmers, prepare your toppings. Thaw 1 cup of frozen corn kernels. Then, rinse and drain 1 (15 oz) can of black beans. Shred 4 oz (about 1 cup) of cheese, and slice 2 green onions. Preparing these toppings in advance ensures quick assembly.

Now that the rice is finished, fluff it with a fork. Divide the cooked rice evenly between four containers.

Finally, divide the taco meat, corn, beans, cheese, salsa, and green onions evenly between the containers. This creates four complete and ready-to-go burrito bowls.
