1. Taco Seasoning Mix: Combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to your taste in a small bowl. Measure 3 tbsp (45 mL) aside for beef; set aside. Transfer remaining to a covered jar or airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 months. (Makes about ¾ cup/175 mL.) 2. Taco Beef: Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet; cook ground beef, stirring and using back of a spoon to break up beef into chunks, for 8 to 10 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked. Drain, if needed. Stir in reserved 3 tbsp (45 mL) Taco Seasoning Mix; cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes to blend the flavours. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. 3. Bowls: Heat black beans in a microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) for about 1 minute, until hot. Stir in cooked rice and half of the green onions. 4. Divide rice mixture equally between 4 large serving bowls. Top each with one-quarter of the beef mixture. Arrange lettuce, salsa, avocado, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, pickled onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, cilantro and remaining green onions on top, as desired. Serve immediately.
