In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil; add the rice; reduce the heat to low; cover; simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork; set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef; cook until browned, breaking up the meat. Discard excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and corn; cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and well combined.
Spread the cooked rice evenly on a serving platter; spread the beef mixture evenly over the rice.
Drizzle the queso dip generously over the top of the beef mixture.
Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese, green onions, and chopped cilantro on top. Serve with more queso and lime wedges on the side.
