Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Pinch salt plus more to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 3 to 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 1/2 cups steamed rice
  • 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • Corn salsa
  • Tomato salsa or pico de gallo
  • Guacamole or sliced avocado
  • Sour cream, cilantro, lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add peppers and onions, season with oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Cook 5 to 6 minutes until slightly softened but still tender-crisp. Transfer to a bowl set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, drain excess grease, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning, stirring well. Add the water and stir, allowing it to simmer until the water is mostly absorbed. Remove from the heat.
  • Divide the lettuce evenly between 4 bowls. To each bowl, add rice, beans, cooked peppers and onions, seasoned ground beef, cheese, pico de gallo, corn salsa and avocado. Top off with sour cream and cilantro, if desired and serve with lime wedges.
