Step 1: Cook the Rice
If you haven’t cooked your rice yet, now’s the time. Use whatever rice you’ve got—jasmine, basmati, brown, or even microwaveable packets if it’s one of those days.

Step 2: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 7–8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease if needed.

Step 3: Flavor Town
Add the garlic and tomato paste to the skillet and stir for a minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour in the water and stir everything together. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the mixture thickens and smells like taco heaven.

Step 4: Assemble Like a Pro
Grab a bowl and layer it up: rice first, then that juicy beef, followed by beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, and anything else you’re vibing with. Finish with a dollop of sour cream, a splash of hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime juice if you’re feeling zesty.

Step 5: Eat and Repeat
Serve immediately while it’s hot and the cheese is melty. Dig deep with your spoon to get every layer in one glorious bite.
