Cook the rice by combining 1 cup of uncooked rice with 2 cups of water or broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fluffy.

While the rice cooks, brown 1 pound of ground beef or turkey in a large skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink.

Drain excess fat from the skillet, sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat, add a splash of water, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 can of drained black beans, 1 cup of corn, and 1 cup of diced tomatoes. Stir until evenly mixed.

Assemble the bowl starting with a base of fluffy rice, layer the seasoned meat, then the black bean and corn medley.

Top the bowl with shredded lettuce, cheese, avocado, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
