Instructions
Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula as it cooks. Continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes until the beef is fully browned with no pink remaining, then drain excess fat.
Season the Beef
Add the chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder to the cooked beef and stir well to coat every piece of meat in the spice mixture. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes allowing the spices to bloom in the heat and become fragrant.
Add Beans and Salsa
Pour the rinsed black beans and salsa into the skillet and stir everything together until fully combined. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes allowing the flavors to meld together and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Build the Bowls
Divide the beef and bean mixture evenly into three bowls as a base and add your desired toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, or fresh cilantro. Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers for up to 4 days.
