Ingredients

Creamy Cilantro Dressing

  • 1 packet Ranch dip mix, about 3 tablespoons
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1-3 teaspoon diced jalapenos
  • ½-⅔ cup milk

Taco Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (1-ounce) envelope taco seasoning
  • ¾ cup water

Toppings

  • 3 cup chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeded, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  • Make dressing by blending all ingredients in the blender. Add milk until it's the consistency you want. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Pour all rice ingredients into a large pan and bring to a boil. Add lid and simmer for 20 minutes (stirring occasionally), until rice is cooked.
  • Cook beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink making sure to break up the meat. Add water and taco seasoning to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Assemble bowls by dividing the rice mixture evenly along with the meat, lettuce, corn, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
  • Drizzle with creamy cilantro dressing.
