Cheesy Beef and Bean Burrito Rice Bowls

These Cheesy Beef and Bean Burrito Rice bowls are inspired by my husbands favorite fast food restaurant only deconstructed into rice bowls and it's way healthier. Cheesy beef, refried beans and all the fixings are serve on white or brown rice. A fast and easy dinner (or lunch!) recipe to throw together.

- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro leaves (plus more for serving)
- 2/3 cup cheddar cheese (freshly grated, plus more for serving)
- 2 cups cooked white rice (or brown rice (using leftover rice makes this even faster))

- 1/2 cup guacamole (for serving)
