Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and ground meat. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Stir in taco seasoning until the meat is evenly coated.
- Add rice, black beans, corn, salsa, and broth. Stir to combine everything well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork and top with shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado slices, and lime juice if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Use brown rice for a healthier version (increase liquid and cook time).Omit meat and double beans or use plant-based protein for a vegetarian version.Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.Reheat with a splash of broth to prevent dryness.Adjust spice level by using mild or hot salsa and taco seasoning.
