Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until fluffy. Stir in lime juice.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef or turkey, breaking it apart. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Transfer meat to a plate.

In the same skillet, return the cooked meat and add taco spices and 1/3 cup of water. Mix well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Prepare toppings: dice 1-2 tomatoes, shred 1 cup of lettuce, slice half an onion, rinse and drain 1 can of black beans, and crumble cheese. Arrange toppings on a cutting board.

Assemble the bowl with a scoop of rice, followed by seasoned meat, black beans, fresh veggies, and cheese. Drizzle your favorite sauce on top.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and a lime wedge. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to customize their own bowl.
