Instructions
Prepare the Veggies: Cut up the bell peppers and onions into thin slices. If using jalapeños, remove the seeds and dice them finely.
Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, add 1 cup of uncooked jasmine rice to 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Cook the rice for about 8 minutes or until it's tender and fully cooked.
Sauté the Veggies: In a separate large pan, heat a little avocado oil (or any cooking oil of your choice) over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and optional jalapeños. Season with minced garlic (or garlic powder), paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté the veggies until they become tender, then set them aside.
Cook the Ground Beef: In the same pan, add the lean ground beef. Season it with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and any additional spices you desire. Cook the beef until it is no longer pink and is fully cooked through.
Assemble the Meal Prep Bowls: Divide the cooked jasmine rice, sautéed veggies, and ground beef evenly into four meal prep bowls. Top each bowl with a generous sprinkle of shredded pepper Jack cheese or any cheese of your choice.
Optional Sauce: If you like a little extra kick, drizzle some chipotle mayo or your favorite spicy sauce over the assembled bowls before heating or right before eating.
Store and Reheat: Once you've assembled the meal prep bowls, let them cool down to room temperature before sealing them tightly with lids or covering them with plastic wrap. Store the bowls in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to eat, simply microwave the bowl for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
