Method
Rinse the rice, add 110 ml water and 1 g salt, then simmer covered for 15–18 minutes until tender. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Heat oil in a skillet, add the ground1 beef, and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until no longer2 pink.
Stir in paprika, cumin, chili powder, and 1 g salt, then add 30 ml water and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the spices coat the meat.
Rinse the beans and corn, then warm them in the skillet with the beef for 2 minutes or cook separately.
Cube the tomato5, slice the avocado6, cut the lime9 into wedges, and grate the cheese.
Spoon the rice into a bowl, then arrange the beef, beans, corn, tomato5, and avocado6 in sections.
Top with sour7 cream, sprinkle with cheddar8, and finish with a squeeze of lime9.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cook the rice with water at 1:4 under a lid so the starch doesn't wash out and the grains stay fluffy. If the water boils off too soon, the rice turns dry.
- Substitutions
- Instead of red beans, use black beans or canned bean puree without additives. Instead of avocado, slice half a ripe banana for sweetness.
- Common mistakes
- If the beef is pink inside, it's raw. Check with a knife: the meat should be evenly brown.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, covered, adding 1 tablespoon of water.
- Serve with
- Serve with dark beer or iced mint tea to contrast with the acidity of the lime.
