In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 2 cups water, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

While rice cooks, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked.

Drain excess fat from the skillet and add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water.

Simmer the beef for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat evenly.

Add the black beans and corn to the beef skillet and heat through for 3 minutes over medium heat.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide among four serving bowls.

Top each rice portion with the seasoned meat and vegetable mixture, followed by salsa and shredded cheese.
