Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is fluffy.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 lb of ground beef or turkey. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking apart the meat until browned. Drain excess fat.

Sprinkle 1 oz of taco seasoning into the browned meat. Add about 2 tablespoons of water, stir and let simmer for about 3 minutes.

Add in the diced bell pepper, 1 cup of corn, and 1 can of rinsed black beans to the skillet. Stir and heat through for about 3-4 minutes.

Fold in the cooked rice into the skillet. Stir carefully until evenly coated. Warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Spoon portions into serving dishes. Top with your choice of salsa and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Enjoy!
