  • 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 6 large chicken drumsticks
  • 1 large Beefsteak tomato
  • 1 small Vidalia onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 cups long grain uncooked rice

Instruction

  • Season chicken drumsticks with 1/2 packet of taco seasoning mix.
  • Sear chicken drumsticks on a medium high heat skillet with just a touch of oil. Once chicken is brown all around, set chicken aside.
  • On a food processor or blender, blend tomato, onion, and garlic. Add this into a large skillet, over medium high heat and let it cook for a minute or two.
  • Keep adding the rest of the ingredients to the pan: rice, chiles, corn, peas, and the remainder taco seasoning mix. Stir well and cook for a minute or two. Adjust salt level to taste.
  • Add water and bring to a boil.
  • Place chicken on top of the rice.
  • Cover well, and cook on low for 20-25 minutes until rice has absorbed all of the liquid.
  • Serve with a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a good squeeze of lime.
