I’m a huge fan of making major messes in the kitchen…the more pots, pans, cooking equipment the better! It drives my husband crazy so I know this easy one pot meal is going to make him a much happier guy come clean up.
I took inspiration for this meal from my favorite Chipotle meal and added my own tweaks to make it something both my hubby and I could enjoy.
Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we did!!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (*sub any meat you’d like – chicken, turkey, venison, bison)
1 cup rice
1 can black beans
1 package frozen corn
1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes (*sub 1 can diced tomatoes)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package taco seasoning
1 pinch of salt and pepper
2 cups hot water
Toppings – lettuce, crushed chips (we did Doritos because it’s what we had in the house), cheese, sour cream, onions, avocado, etc.
How to:
1. Cook your meat till it’s almost cooked all the way through. Add taco seasoning.
2. Move rice to the side and add rice and tomatoes.
3. Bring to a simmer and then combine, beans, corn and salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add 2 cups water and bring to a rolling simmer. Cover with a lid and cook on medium for 10-15 mins or until rice is al dente.
4. Add cheese and more water or seasoning if needed to finish cooking the rice. I checked on it every 5 mins until the rice was the doneness we like.
5. Add to a bowl and eat as is or put it on top of lettuce/spinach and top with all your favorite taco toppings!!
6. ENJOY!!!
