Ingredients
 

Beef

  • 1 lb ground beef 453 g
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground Cayenne, adjust heat level to your taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder or ground cumin, (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Taco Bowls

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced (5.07 oz | 144 g)
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice 10.58 oz | 300 g
  • 1 cup sweet corn 5.78 oz | 164 g
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce 3.52 oz | 100 g

Cilantro Mayonnaise

  • 1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise 3.9 oz | 110 g
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Season beef with taco seasoning and spices (ground cayenne, chili powder or ground cumin), if using.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet with oil. Add beef and saute for 8-10 minutes until nicely browned. Add tomato paste. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes until paste is fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with a little salt, if desired.
  • Remove and clean the skillet with kitchen paper. Add olive oil and saute bell pepper and onion until soft, about 5 minutes.

Cilantro Mayonnaise:

  • In a blender, combine all ingredients until blended. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and a little sugar or honey, if desired. If you want to customize/personalize the flavor of the sauce - simply combine all the ingredients except for the cilantro in a bowl then taste and adjust as needed. Place the sauce mixture with cilantro in a blender then process until combined.

Assemble:
