Instructions
Creating the wonderful Taco Rice Bowl with Doritos is a simple process that can be followed easily with these clear steps:
1. Cook the Rice: In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice and beef broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
2. Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
3. Add Taco Seasoning: Once the meat is cooked, drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water (typically about 1/4 cup). Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Prepare the Base: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Spread a generous amount of rice in the bottom of each serving bowl.
5. Layer with Meat: Spoon the seasoned ground beef over the bed of rice, distributing evenly across all bowls.
6. Add Toppings: Now, it’s time to build your bowl! Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top of the meat.
7. Crunchy Finish: Sprinkle crushed Doritos across the top of each bowl for an inviting crunchy texture.
8. Final Touches: Top each bowl with sour cream, sliced avocado, and garnish with cilantro if desired.
Following these steps will lead to a successful and delicious Taco Rice Bowl with Doritos that will wow your family and friends.
