- In the same skillet, add the ground beef and allow it to sear for 2 minutes before breaking it up to develop a brown crust
- Add cumin, chili powder, and paprika to the beef, stirring for 60 seconds to bloom the spices
- Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping the bottom to incorporate the fond into the mixture
- Drain and rinse the black beans, adding them to the beef mixture to heat through
- Assemble bowls by layering rice, the beef and bean mixture, and topped with sautéed peppers and onions
- Finish with avocado slices, lime juice, and cilantro
Notes
Allow ground beef to come to room temperature before cooking for better searing.
Use kosher salt for better control in seasoning.
