  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 cup cooked white rice (155g)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grease a large skillet with cooking spray. Add the ground beef and cook over medium heat, crumbling with a meat masher as you go until beef is browned, about 8 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and mix in the chili powder, cumin and salt.
  3. Stir in the cooked rice, guacamole salsa, salsa verde and green chilies. Then stir in the corn and beans.
  4. Return to medium heat, stirring occasionally until the corn is thawed through, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle cheese over top, cover with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from heat. Serve hot, divided into bowls with sour cream (adds a yummy cool, creaminess!) and tortilla chips, if desired, and enjoy!

  • There are so many yummy ways to enjoy this dish. Here are some of my favorites:
  • – normal tortilla chips or Quest chips for some extra protein! You can also make your own chips: Cut up some Joseph’s Lavash (or Cut Da Carb) into triangles, spray with cooking spray and bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes on broil or until desired crispiness.
  • – Don’t want it deconstructed? Just throw in a tortilla. This is what Simon does every time I make this!
  • – Place your deconstructed burrito over some greens kinda like a Chipotle salad bowl!
