Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Prepare your taco bowl bases by dividing the cooked rice evenly between 4 bowls.
Layer the taco bowls with shredded romaine lettuce, cooked seasoned beef, black beans, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn kernels (if using).
Top each taco bowl with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and cubed avocado.
