Beef Taco Bowl

A Beef Taco Bowl has been one of my go-to meals for years now!

Beef Taco Bowl

The beef taco bowl is a combination of grass-fed beef sautéed with onions, garlic and cumin. It’s served over some soaked brown rice or cauliflower rice and then you can add any toppings you’d like! I usually top my bowl with avocado, cilantro, raw cheddar, sour cream, tomato (or fermented salsa) and a squeeze of lime.

The beauty of this recipe is that everything can be made ahead of time. You can make a pot of rice or cauliflower rice and then sauté the beef and onions and store in the fridge. Then, reheat a small portion of rice and beef on the stove and then add the toppings.

You can also make this meal adapt to whatever dietary restrictions you have right now. Can’t do dairy? Drop the sour cream and cheese. Can’t have grains right now? Serve with cauliflower rice or just omit the rice. I love the versatility!

Beef Taco Bowl

This ground beef, onion and spice mixture also makes a fabulous, quick taco meat. You can also use it as a base for burritos or tacos. The Siete burrito wraps or sprouted corn tortillas can be a good option depending on your dietary needs right now.

Here are some additional ground beef recipes you might enjoy:

    What a great, easy idea for lunches! May I ask where you get organic grass-fed beef?

      I usually buy my grass-fed beef in bulk once or twice a year from a farm. If you go to eatwild.com you can find farms in your area that raised grass-fed organic cows. This option is much cheaper than buying from the health food store. If you live near a Trader Joes they also sell 100% grass-fed ground beef.

    I love the taco meat recipe! Every time I use a package of taco seasoning, I cringe inside...knowing there's things lurking in there that I don't want. I love how simple and tasty this meat is. It's like a comfort food paired with the rice. I enjoyed mine with some black refried beans stirred in.

    I love everything Siete except the frozen tortillas, so what I've discovered is the next best thing to a soft flour tortilla is a plain egg white wrap. Egg Life also makes Southwest flavored egg wraps.
