How do I make these Ground Beef Burrito Bowls?

In a small mixing bowl combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, and zest.

Whisk together and season with salt. Set aside. 

In a medium saucepan, bring water (or broth) and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add the rice, stir once, and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.Stir in lime juice and garnish with cilantro. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Divide the cooked ground beef into 4 equal portions. I like to weigh it and divide the weight into fourths. 

Divide the toppings into four portions: 1/4 cup rice, 1/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 1 Tbsp avocado, 1/4 cup tomatoes, cilantro, lime crema, and garnish with sliced jalapeños, if desired.
