A flavorful burrito bowl featuring lean beef mince, fresh rocket, and vibrant vegetables served over fluffy white rice. This protein-packed meal is free from beans, onion, and garlic, making it light yet satisfying.

Steps

  1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  3. Season with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: dice the bell pepper and cucumber, shred the carrot, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  6. Warm the cooked white rice.
  7. In a bowl, layer the warm rice, cooked beef mince, and fresh vegetables.
  8. Top with fresh rocket leaves.
  9. Drizzle lime juice over the bowl and toss gently before serving.

Tips for Beef Mince Burrito Bowl with Rocket and Veggies

  • Keep the rocket and cucumber dry until serving so the leaves stay perky and the bowl does not become watery.
  • The mince should look evenly browned with no pink patches; avoid crowding the pan, which can make it steam rather than brown.
  • For meal prep, keep the warm components separate from the fresh vegetables and rocket, then combine just before serving.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its refreshing acidity complements the lime and fresh vegetables while standing up to the cumin and smoked paprika.

0% option: Sparkling water with lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat the rice and beef until steaming hot; add the fresh vegetables and rocket afterward.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the beef mince is done?
It should be browned throughout with no pink patches and should no longer look raw or glossy.

Can I prepare the bowl components ahead?
Yes. Cook the beef and rice ahead, chill them promptly, and store them apart from the chopped vegetables and rocket until serving.

How do I keep the vegetables crisp?
Pat the cucumber and tomatoes dry after cutting, and add the rocket and lime close to serving time.
