One pot burrito bowls recipe- easy and delicious one pot meal! This dinner recipe is made in one pot in 30 minutes …making clean up a breeze. Perfect for busy week nights!
If you’ve been a long time reader, it’s no surprise that I’m a big fan of Mexican food. Some of my favorites include my green enchiladas, taco soup and chicken taco bowls. These one pot burrito bowls have now been added to the list. If you like my taco soup recipe you will love this recipe. I used a lot of the same ingredients in creating this recipe but added rice to make the famous burrito bowl. It is so good!
The best part about this burrito bowls recipe is it only uses one pot and 30 minutes to make. My whole family loved it! Definitely put it on the menu this week and let me know how you like it.
These burrito bowls are loaded with ground beef, rice, black beans, cheese, fresh tomatoes, and cilantro! Some of the best flavors. The Chunky Salsa and Green Chiles give it a little kick.

One Pot Burrito Bowls
Ingredients
Main ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced sweet onion
- 1 pound lean hamburger
- 1/3 cup Medium Thick n’ Chunky Salsa
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 15-ounce can corn, drained
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder use 1-2 tsp if you like a little spice
- 2 cups chicken stock vegetable broth works too
- 1 cup shredded cheddar/jack cheese
- S & P to taste
Optional toppings:
- Sour cream
- Cilantro
- Green Onions
- Tomatoes
- Guacamole or sliced avocados
- Jalepenos or hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onions and red peppers. Add in hamburger and cook until browned. Drain grease. Stir in salsa, black beans, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, jasmine rice, taco seasoning and chili powder. Pour in chicken stock and then bring to a light boil. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is all the way cooked.
- When rice is done, S&P to taste. Top with your favorite toppings. We like to serve over lettuce in a salad bowl and eat with tortilla chips. You can also use this mix to top over nachos or place in a tortilla to make burritos. We love using the leftovers to make stuffed bell peppers as well.
Just about to make this and I’m having a hard time figuring out when to add the cheese. Should I top it with cheese and put it under the broiler for a minute?
Hi Kate! Add when the rice is done! It will melt on it’s own, but you can definitely put it under the broiler if you want. :)
I made this for dinner for my husband and I tonight. Due to some dietary restrictions we have, I omitted the ground beef. I added 7 oz each of red beans and great northern beans in place of the ground beef, and I used 12 oz of frozen corn instead of canned.. I followed the recipe exactly for the rest of recipe. We ate it in a bowl as a main dish. We garnished it with extra salsa, and I added a spoonful of plain non-fat greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream. It made over a half a dutch oven pot. Since it is only the 2 of us, we had lots left over. I will use it to make burrito’s for lunch this week, and will probably freeze some for lunches in a week or so. We will definitely make it again, especially if we have family coming to visit. It was quick, easy and delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your substitutions and for your comment! :)
It was simple easy and tasty!

1/8 full recipe with 2 Tbs sour cream and 1/4 avacado
The family loved this! We have our own “taco in a dish” recipe that is a favorite, and this was just as good and much faster! Yummy!
So glad you enjoyed it :)
This was delicious! I shared it with my group! Thanks so much!
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Have you tried freezing this?
Yes! Leftovers are great in tortillas for tacos or enchiladas! :)
Making this tonight, my fiancé and 2 of our kids do not like tomato’s, would it taste okay with leaving them out?
It will be a little more dry, but it should still work! :)
