Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Add rice to the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
While rice cooks, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Thinly slice green onions. Zest lime, then cut into wedges. Drain, then rinse the corn. Stir together lime zest and sour cream in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef. Sprinkle with Mexican Seasoning. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Season with salt and pepper. Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Transfer beef to a plate and set aside.
Heat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then peppers, half the corn (all for 4 ppl) and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until peppers are tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Remove pan from heat, then transfer pepper mixture to a medium bowl.
Fluff rice with a fork, then season with salt. Heat the same pan (from step 4) over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until any liquid is absorbed and rice starts to brown, 1-2 min. Add green onions and pepper mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until warmed through, 1-2 min.
Divide taco rice between bowls. Top with beef and tomatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and cilantro, then dollop lime crema over top. Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
