Taco Beef and Rice
I cook with ground meat about once a week. It’s tasty and easy to work with especially when you want to make a protein packed meal. This weekend I started to make one of my standard ground beef and rice mixtures, maybe a bit boring, until I was inspired by something my husband said to me the other day. He shared with me that his Mom use to make a Spanish Rice type dish. Hmmmm Spanish rice. Then I got my MoJo going and headed to the pantry and here is what the results were.

Instructions
- Cook ground pork and beef in a large skillet on medium high until lightly browned

Notes
This was so yummy and can be spiced up with hot Salsa. Use this as a Taco or burrito filler. My family, we just ate it in a bowl with a salad.
I considered adding some vegetables while I was sautéing the meat and I think I may next time I make it. But if you need quick and easy, the recipe above is just that.
Enjoy!
I used Simple Organic Spicy Chili Seasoning Mix, Newman’s Own Medium Salsa and Organic Long Grain White Rice.

Hi Ramona. This is a very easy meal to make too. Many times I have extra cooked rice in my fridge and therefore it cuts the time to cook down. This can also be used as a filler for tortillas. Sometimes I serve it that way to my boys and I just have the filling in a small bowl.
