Taco Rice

Step 1

Gather all the ingredients.

Step 2

Combine all the ingredients for taco seasoning in a mason jar (or a plastic bag) and shake well to mix together.

Step 3

Mince the garlic clove and set aside (we will use this for stir frying with meat).

Step 4

Mince the red onion.

Step 5

Cut the tomato into small cubes (you need about half tomato, although it’s shown as a whole tomato here).

Step 6

Chop cilantro into small pieces.

Step 7

Combine chopped red onion, tomato, cilantro in a medium bowl and squeeze half of the lemon into the bowl. Mix well together.

Step 8

Cut the iceberg lettuce into thin strips.

Step 9

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the garlic cloves until fragrant. Then add the red onion and sauté until coated with oil.

Step 10

Add the ground beef and break into small pieces using a spatula.

Step 11

Add 4 tsp Taco Seasoning (Roughly 2 tsp for every ¼ lb) and combine well with the meat. Turn off the heat.

Step 12

Serve the steamed rice on a plate/bowl. Put the ground beef on top. Then top with cheese, lettuce, and tomato salsa as much as you like. Serve with extra salsa and enjoy!

Step 13

You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to a month.
