Follow these easy steps to create your Easy Taco Rice Bowl:

1. Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, bring chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the long-grain rice, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

3. Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

4. Add Taco Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes into the meat mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

5. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the fluffed rice at the bottom. Top with the seasoned meat mixture.

6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheese, lettuce, and avocado slices generously over each bowl.

7. Drizzle with Condiments: Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa to each bowl for added creaminess and flavor.

8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for a burst of freshness.
