Easy Taco Bowl Recipe [Customize for Any Meal]

This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and highly recommend. You can read my full disclosure .

When I need to go to the market and only have a few ingredients, I find that I get really creative in the kitchen. This Breakfast Taco Bowl started as one of those meals. At the time, I needed to turn four ingredients (eggs, ground beef, taco seasoning, and a can of tomatoes) into something filling, simple, and delicious.

In this post, you’ll find my jazzed up version of the original dish. But, also tips to customize this for any meal and use it for meal prep, depending on what’s available in your kitchen. 

One Breakfast Bowl with sunny-side-up egg topping
Main Ingredients

As I mentioned, the basic recipe has just a few main ingredients:

  • eggs
  • homemade taco meat – uses ground beef, a can of diced tomatoes and my homemade taco seasoning
  • yellow onion

Toppings

Similar to when you take a trip to Moe’s or Chipotle, you can really build your own bowl. While I chose to keep this breakfast themed (and topped this with an egg), the options are really endless.

Some toppings that work great on this bowl for any meal are:

  • Salsa
  • Avocado
  • Guacamole
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese or Cojita Cheese crumbles
  • Chopped Cilantro
  • Fresh or pickled vegetables like jalapeños and red onions
  • Fajita Vegetables
  • Full-fat sour cream

How to Make a Taco Bowl

There are three main steps to making this at home.

  1. Gather: you can use the recipe card below to gather the ingredients for the dish, including your favorite toppings
  2. Brown & Sauté: brown the ground meat with onions. Then, add the spices, onions, and tomatoes and bring it to a simmer
  3. Build: Top this dish with the suggested toppings or others that you can think of

Meal Prep Options

You’ll notice that this keto-friendly taco bowl has taco meat at the base. If you want to “stretch” this dish or use it as part of a meal prep, you can use the ideas below:

  1. Add a side of cauliflower rice: two of my favorites that would work well with this dish are Spanish cauliflower rice or Cilantro Lime cauliflower rice.
  2. Make a taco salad: All you’d need to do is pair the meat and toppings over a bowl of lettuce. When I do this, I allow the toppings like salsa to serve as a salad dressing. If you’re not ready to eat, be sure to keep toppings like salsa separate. You can also keep the meat separate so that you can reheat it when needed.
