My name is Raquel Lynn and I share some of my favorite recipes on Horses & Heels. I love food and believe anyone can cook amazing meals at home! This simple Chorizo Taco Rice Bowl is a recipe I put on repeat weekly for my family. Taco rice bowls are delicious and nutritious. This is a meal you can prepare at home without sacrificing taste. Quick and easy taco rice bowls can be assembled in minutes once the prep work is done. A vast amount of flavor combinations means that these tasty bowls will never bore your taste buds.

The Perfect Weekly Meal Prep Plan

Start by cooking your rice ahead of time. Brown rice is healthy, but generally takes longer to cook. Make a big batch you can use for multiple rice bowls and other meals throughout the week.

Season and cook your protein. Chorizo tastes better the next time you heat it up (the ends get crispy and delicious) and it doesn’t dry out.

Get your beans ready! Slow cook and season them or remove them from the can, drain, season, and store in air-tight containers.

Think about the vegetables. Most vegetables can be chopped ahead saving you time and hassle. Dice up red onions, tomatoes, and chop your cilantro. Corn is another awesome add-in. Opt for frozen corn or blacken it in a skillet ahead of time.

Make sure you have plenty of salsa, Sriracha, and dressing on hand to go with these bowls. A handful of tortilla chips adds crunch and texture to these taco rice bowls. Anyone can assemble this bowl so it’s a fun meal to eat with the family.
