Prepare white rice according to the package instructions. Fluff the rice with a fork once it finishes cooking. Keep it warm until you are ready to assemble the bowls.

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow it to warm for about one minute. This helps cook the meat evenly.

Add the ground beef or chicken to the skillet. Cook for about six to eight minutes. Break the meat into small pieces while cooking.

Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper over the meat. Stir well so the spices coat the meat evenly.

Stir the black beans and corn into the skillet. Cook everything together for about three minutes. This allows the flavors to combine nicely.

While the meat cooks, slice the avocado and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Chop the cilantro and prepare the lime wedges.

Place a scoop of warm rice in the bottom of each serving bowl. Spread it evenly so it forms a base for the toppings.

Spoon the seasoned meat mixture over the rice. Make sure each bowl gets a good portion of meat, beans and corn.

Top the bowls with cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, shredded cheese and salsa. Add sour cream and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowl before serving. The lime adds brightness and makes the flavors taste fresh and vibrant.
