Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef I used 96/4
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 cup cooked white rice (155g)
  • 3/4 cup mild guacamole salsa (180g)
  • 3/4 cup mild salsa verde (180g)
  • 4 oz. can chopped green chiles
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn (68g)
  • 15.5- oz. can cannellini beans rinsed & drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese (56g)
  • Sour cream optional for serving

Instructions

  • Grease a large skillet with cooking spray. Add the ground beef and cook over medium heat, crumbling with a meat masher as you go until beef is browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and mix in the chili powder, cumin and salt.
  • Stir in the cooked rice, guacamole salsa, salsa verde and green chilies. Then stir in the corn and beans.
  • Return to medium heat, stirring occasionally until the corn is thawed through, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cheese over top, cover with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from heat. Serve hot, divided into bowls with sour cream (adds a yummy cool, creaminess!) and tortilla chips, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

There are so many yummy ways to enjoy this dish. Here are some of my favorites:
  • Scoop with chips – normal tortilla chips or Quest chips for some extra protein! You can also make your own chips: Cut up some Joseph’s Lavash (or Cut Da Carb) into triangles, spray with cooking spray and bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes on broil or until desired crispiness.
  • Burrito – Don’t want it deconstructed? Just throw in a tortilla. This is what Simon does every time I make this!
  • Salad – Place your deconstructed burrito over some greens kinda like a Chipotle salad bowl!
