🍲 How To Make Pioneer Woman Burrito Bowls

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken stock to a boil. Add the rinsed jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add ½ cup chopped red bell pepper and ½ cup chopped sweet onion. Sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 pound of lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until it’s fully browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning and ½ teaspoon (or more) of chili powder. Add the ½ cup of salsa, the drained black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and diced green chiles to the skillet. Mix well.
6. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Spoon the cooked rice into bowls. Top with the beef and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheddar/jack cheese over each bowl.
8. Serve the burrito bowls hot, optionally garnished with additional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, or lime wedges.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Meat Alternatives: If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative or extra beans and lentils. For a different meat flavor, try using ground turkey or chicken.
• Layering Flavors: Add a layer of flavor to your beef mixture by including a splash of beer or broth when adding the taco seasoning and chili powder. It deglazes the pan and incorporates all the delicious browned bits into the mixture.
• Cheese Melting: To melt the cheese beautifully, sprinkle it over the hot beef and vegetable mixture right before serving. The residual heat will melt the cheese perfectly.
• Boost the Vegetables: Feel free to add more vegetables to the skillet. Spinach, kale, or diced zucchini can be stirred in with the beans and corn to up the nutritional content and add color.
• Spice Adjustments: Tailor the spice level to your audience. Keep it mild for those who are sensitive to heat, but have hot sauce or extra diced chiles on the side for spice lovers.
