Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (minced beef)
- 1 cup white rice - cooked
- 8 ounces salsa - fresh
- 1 medium avocado - sliced
- 16 ounce black beans - rinsed
- 1 medium red pepper (red capsicum) - sliced
- 1 medium red onion - sliced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
- ½ tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 12 small cherry tomatoes - quartered
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce - chopped
- 1 jar black olives - chopped
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- ¼ cup hot sauce
Instructions
- Start with the rice–cook according to package instructions. Meanwhile, saute the beef for 4 to 6 minutes.
- In an oiled pan on medium-high heat, combine red pepper, onion, chilli powder, cayenne, oregano, and chipotle chilli powder (because of the heat level, I would suggest something like coconut or grapeseed oil. However, a pinch of olive oil will do—keep the temperature under its smoke point). Cook approximately 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Ensure all your toppings are chopped, and now you can begin the build! There isn’t a wrong way to combine all of the ingredients, though I find it an excellent presentation if the rice is the base to build on. You could also combine all ingredients into a large bowl, mix, and refrigerate until needed. Do what works best for you!
