They have several different rice bowls and this is by far our favorite.
Our homemade version really amps up the flavors while using the same basic flavor profile of the original.
I know it’s a pain to chop veggies, but it’s so important to get a fine dice on your peppers and red onion.
The original recipe has the vegetables chopped into perfect tiny cubes and we tried to get the same dice on our vegetables at home.
Use a super sharp paring knife to cut the vegetables into tiny cubes.
Finely diced peppers and onions will ensure that easy bite is perfectly balanced when it comes to the flavors.
And you won’t have to worry about getting a giant piece of red onion in your mouth.
It’s worth it to take a little extra time to get the vegetables small enough.
And this step can be done a day or two in advance.
You can meal prep on Sunday and then make this dish much faster during the week.
We’re using two packets of Knorr Mexican Rice in this recipe because we love the blend of herbs and spices that they use.
But you can feel free to use any type of rice that you prefer. A bowl of jasmine rice would work well in this recipe.
Start by bringing the water to a boil then add in both packets of Mexican rice.
Reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until all the water is absorbed.
If you can still see water in the pot, allow the rice to continue simmering for a few more minutes.
Once all the water is absorbed into the rice, remove the rice from the heat and allow it to sit for 2 minutes covered.
Fluff the rice with a fork and you’re ready to serve.
When you are ready to assemble your Fiesta Rice Bowls, make sure that the ground beef, black beans, and corn are warm.
We’re adding raw red onion and raw red and green bell peppers so these ingredients will be cold or room temperature.
All the other ingredients need to be warm or very warm so that your entire rice bowl will be warm when you start eating it.
It’s okay to put your individual Fiesta Rice Bowl in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to make sure it is extra warm.
This step is completely optional though.
If you are going to heat the rice bowl in the microwave, make sure you do it before topping it with the avocado.
You don’t want to heat up the avocado while you heat up your rice bowl.
