Notes

Serving idea: Prepare Mexican style side dishes, and serve them like a buffet. Allow everyone to assemble their own rice bowls.
Storing: Store any leftovers separately in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. The beef and rice can be stored for up to 2 days, and reheated in a microwave. The vegetables normally stay fresh for longer.
Alternative ingredients: The dishes listed in this recipe are only suggestions. Feel free to replace any of them with any other Mexican dishes you love. I have recommended many alternatives in the post above.
Cooking time: The exact cooking time and ingredients needed will vary depending on which dishes you add to your rice bowl. You should be able to prepare everything in less than 1 hour in total. If you replace the shredded beef with a quicker recipe, the cooking time is reduced to 30-40 minutes.
