Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium high and add the ground chuck in one flat layer.

Step 2: Let it sit undisturbed for 4 minutes to brown, then break it apart with a wooden spoon.

Step 3: Add the onion and cook for 4 minutes more, until softened and translucent.

Step 4: Drain off the excess fat, leaving a thin film in the pan.

Step 5: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and a splash of water, and simmer for 3 minutes.

Step 6: Fold in the black beans and heat through.

Step 7: Spoon the rice into bowls, top with the beef mixture, and finish with the shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomato.

Chef's Tip: Eighty percent lean ground chuck brings enough fat to carry the spices, so drain off only the excess and leave a little behind for flavor. Let the meat sit undisturbed for a few minutes after it hits the pan to build a browned crust before you break it up. A splash of water with the seasoning helps it cling to the beef instead of scorching on the pan.

Save by using Using the sale-priced ground chuck and stretching it with rice and beans and Serve with Warm tortillas and a bowl of tortilla chips for scooping.
