Method
 

Cook the Vegan Ground Beef
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegan ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. The color should deepen and it should be fully heated through. Add the tomato sauce and taco seasoning, turning the heat down to low. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Make the Cilantro Lime Rice
  1. In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Prepare the Avocado Corn Salsa
  1. In another bowl, combine the corn, avocado, chopped red bell pepper, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and taste for seasoning again.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. Layer your bowls starting with a scoop of cilantro lime rice, followed by the seasoned vegan ground beef. Top with the avocado corn salsa, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce or cabbage. Add more toppings like Greek yogurt or vegan sour cream, a squeeze of fresh lime, and extra sliced jalapenos for spice.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can cook and assemble the bowls a few hours in advance and store them separately. Don’t rush the cooking to enhance flavor and texture.
