Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp)
- 1/3 cup water or bone broth
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 head lettuce diced
- 2 handfuls spinach
- 3 green onions diced
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water or bone broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Cook rice according to package directions. Let cool slightly before assembling.
- While the meat and rice cook, prep your toppings: dice the lettuce, chop the green onions, and any optional toppings you'd like.
- To assemble each meal prep container, start with the dressing layer at the bottom: add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup salsa.
- Next, layer 1/2 cup taco meat and 1/2 cup cooked rice on top of the dressing. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the warm layers.
- Add a generous portion of diced lettuce, a handful of spinach, and diced green onions.
- Seal containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, pour into a bowl and toss everything together.
Notes
- Make sure to follow the recommended layering so the greens don't get soggy.
- I like to take mine out of the fridge 10 minutes before eating so it comes to room temperature. Then I give it a good shake and dig in.
