In a small pot, combine the rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Done when browned and opaque, 160°F.
Add the black beans, taco seasoning, and a splash of water to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid has thickened and coated the beef.
While the beef simmers, dice the bell pepper and slice the green onions. Toss them in a small bowl with the lime juice and the remaining salt.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place it in a bowl. Top with the beef and bean mixture and the fresh pepper salad.
