Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Shape the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs, about 1½ inches each.
  3. Brown the Meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Simmer in Barbecue Sauce: Pour barbecue sauce into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, turning to coat evenly.
  5. Make the Avocado Goddess Sauce: Meanwhile, prepare the avocado goddess sauce by blending together avocado, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, water, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with corn, black beans, sliced red onion, diced avocado, and the barbecue meatballs.
  7. Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the avocado goddess sauce over each bowl and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavors improve as the dish sits!
