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
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.
