Everything you love about taco night, in one pan. The rice cooks right in the broth with the meat and seasoning, so it comes out saucy and savory without a single extra dish. Set out the toppings and let everyone build their own bowl.

Recipe:

2 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 onion, finely diced

1 pound ground beef, chicken , turkey or vegetarian crumbles

1/3 cup uncooked long grain rice (minute-rice if you really want to make this quick)

3 tablespoons tomato paste

11/2 cups broth - chicken or vegetable

2 tablespoons taco seasoning (I used @sietefoods !)

1/2 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese (optional)

Chopped cilantro

Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the onion until softened. Add the ground meat, breaking it up with a spoon and cook until browned. (10-12 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the tomato paste and broth. Add the rice and taco seasoning. Cover and cook the mixture according to the rice instructions.

Uncover and stir in the cheese.

Serve with shredded lettuce, tomato salsa, avocado, shredded Mexican blend cheese and limes.
