    Start off by choosing a protein source. You have lots of options in this department!

    • Ground beef
    • Turkey

    • Shrimp

    Or, keep it a plant-based bowl by sticking with beans or chickpeas.

    Skip the store bought taco seasoning packets and flavor your protein choice with this delicious homemade taco seasoning blend made with just a few pantry staples.

    LAYER!

    Next, it's time to layer your bowl with all your favorite toppings. Using rice as a base, layer meat, black beans and veggies in a bowl then pour on the avocado lime dressing.

    DO I HAVE TO USE RICE?

    No! You can choose any sides you want! You can use quinoa, or keep this recipe grain-free by subbing regular rice for cauliflower rice. Or, just throw everything over a bowl of lettuce and call it a day!
