Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper (small diced)
  • 1 medium onion (small diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can corn (drained)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 16 ounces salsa
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (divided)
  • Fresh chopped cilantro for serving
  • your favorite taco toppings

Instruction

  • In a large skillet with deep sides over medium heat add the ground beef, bell pepper, and onion, cook until the beef is no longer pink, break it up into crumbles. Drain any excess liquid. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the taco seasoning and mix it in.
  • Add the black beans, corn, beef broth, salsa, and tomato sauce, stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
  • Lastly, add the rice and stir it in.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes. I like to stir it about every 10 minutes to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom. It is done when the rice is tender and most of the liquid is evaporated, it will thicken more as it cools.
  • Take off the heat, add half of the cheese and stir it in.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top, cover, and let it melt.
  • Add fresh chopped parsley, serve with your favorite taco toppings.
