In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Done when water is absorbed and rice is tender.
Coat a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and the rest of the salt. Done when browned and opaque throughout, 160°F.
While the beef browns, place the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 to 6 minutes until tender but still bright green. Done when tender when pierced with a fork.
