Taco Rice Recipe

Perfect for kids! Super cheap and filling meal that can feed quite a bit of people.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 taco seasoning packet
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups Minute rice (instant rice)
  • Crushed Doritos or tortilla chips
  • Nacho cheese
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, olives, jalapeños, tomatoes, etc.

Instructions:

  1. Brown the Ground Beef:
    • In a large skillet or frying pan, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat.
    • Stir occasionally, breaking the meat into smaller pieces until it is fully browned and no longer pink.
    • Once browned, carefully drain the excess fat from the pan.
  2. Add Seasoning and Rice:
    • Return the skillet with the drained beef to the stove.
    • Add the taco seasoning packet to the beef. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the seasoning.
    • Pour in 2 cups of water and add 2 cups of Minute rice.
    • Stir the mixture to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Cook the Rice:
    • Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
    • Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
    • Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. This allows the rice to absorb the water and flavors.
  4. Prepare to Serve:
    • After 5 minutes, remove the lid and give the mixture a good stir.
    • In individual serving bowls, place a layer of crushed Doritos or tortilla chips.
  5. Serve:
    • Spoon the taco rice mixture over the crushed chips.
    • Top with warm nacho cheese.
    • Serve as is, or add your favorite taco toppings such as lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, olives, jalapeños, and tomatoes.
  6. Alternative Serving Option:
    • Instead of placing the taco rice on top of the chips, you can serve it in a bowl with the chips on the side, allowing it to be enjoyed as a dip.
