Taco Skillet Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Minute rice
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 lb cheap ground beef
- 1/2 can corn, drained
- 1/2 can diced tomatoes, drained
- 2/3 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- Shredded cheese (as desired)
- Sliced jalapenos (as desired)
- Optional toppings: diced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro
Instructions:
- Prepare the Rice: Cook Minute rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Seasoning the Beef: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine, ensuring the beef is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Adding the Vegetables: Add the drained corn, diced tomatoes, and pinto beans to the skillet with the seasoned ground beef. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to heat through. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate the Rice: Once the mixture is heated through and well combined, add the cooked Minute rice to the skillet. Gently stir until the rice is evenly distributed throughout the mixture and heated through.
- Cheese and Jalapenos: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the skillet mixture. Allow the cheese to melt slightly. Then, garnish with sliced jalapenos for an extra kick of flavor and heat.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the jalapenos are softened, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the taco skillet hot, garnished with additional toppings like diced avocado, sour cream, or chopped cilantro if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve the taco skillet hot, either directly from the skillet or transferred to individual plates. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures in this easy-to-make meal!
