Ingredients
- For the rice skillet:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- For the toppings:
- black olives, to taste, sliced
- avocado, to taste, sliced
- sour cream, to taste
- cilantro, to taste, chopped
Directions
Step 1 -In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook the beef, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink.
Step 2 -Add the onions to the cooked beef and cook until they are soft.
Step 3 -Stir the taco seasoning into the beef-onion mixture until it is evenly coated.
Step 4 -Add the corn, the salsa, the rice, the chicken stock, and the tomatoes with green chilies to the beef-onion mixture and stir until it is well-combined. Bring to a boil.
Step 5 -Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the rice is cooked through and most of the liquid has absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Step 6 -Sprinkle the cheese over the rice mixture. Cover the skillet and heat until the cheese has melted.
