Taco Rice
This quick and easy one-skillet meal combines seasoned ground beef, tender rice, and melty cheese for a comforting, flavorful dinner that comes together in minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
2 cups water
2 cups Minute Rice, uncooked
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown and crumble the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the uncooked Minute Rice, making sure it is evenly distributed in the liquid.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the lid and stir in the salsa and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is fully combined and the cheese is melted.
Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Notes
This dish can easily be customized with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, or sliced jalapeños. Leftovers reheat well and make a great lunch the next day. Use any preferred salsa for varying levels of spice and flavor.
