How dinner comes together

  1. Chop the romaine and cilantro, dice the avocado and cut the limes into wedges. Warm the rice according to its package.

  2. Heat the skillet over medium-high. Add the beef, cumin, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, crumbling it into small pieces, until browned throughout and it reaches 160°F, 6–8 minutes.

  3. Move the beef to one side of the skillet. Add the beans and corn to the other side with 1/4 cup water, cover and heat until steaming, 3–4 minutes.

  4. Toss the warm rice with the juice of one lime and half the cilantro. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.

  5. Divide the rice among serving bowls. Arrange the beef, beans, corn and romaine in separate sections over the top.

  6. Finish with salsa, avocado, remaining cilantro and lime wedges so everyone can adjust their own bowl.
