Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1⁄2 red onion
  • 1⁄2 tbsp oil
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
  • 1⁄2 pkg Chicken Barbacoa Seasoning, divided
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) unsalted black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1⁄2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 6 tbsp prepared Chipotle Aioli or Roasted Garlic Aioli, optional

Preparation

  • In Multipurpose Steamer, combine rice and water. Top with tray; microwave, uncovered, on high for about 16–18 min, or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, slice peppers and onions.
  • Heat oil in Wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef. Measure 1 tbsp seasoning and set aside. Sprinkle remaining seasoning over meat. Stir-fry until browned, about 4–5 min, breaking up chunks with Ground Meat Separator. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add peppers, onion and reserved 1 tbsp seasoning to Wok (you don’t need to clean the Wok first). Stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 5 min. Stir in beans and cook 1 min, or until warm.
  • Divide rice, ground beef, veggies, and beans between 6 bowls. Top each bowl with cheese, aioli (if using), and additional toppings, if desired.
