Instructions
Creating Taco Rice Skillet is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps to prepare this amazing dish:
1. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef (or turkey). Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Stir in Rice: Pour in the uncooked rice and taco seasoning. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Broth: Slowly add the broth, stirring to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.
6. Mix in Beans and Corn: Add the black beans and corn, mixing everything together. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
7. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
8. Add Cheese: Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
9. Season to Taste: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
