Recipes:
Loaded Beef Tacos with Mexican Rice
Ingredients:
For the Beef Tacos:
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 taco shells
1 small tomato (diced)
1/2 cup chopped lettuce
For the Mexican Rice:
1 cup long-grain rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove (minced)
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Make the Mexican Rice:
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the rice to the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to lightly toast. Add chicken broth, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Prepare the Beef Filling:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in taco seasoning and water, then simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Assemble the Tacos:
Preheat the taco shells according to the package instructions.
Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into each taco shell. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and melt under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Add diced tomato and chopped lettuce to each taco.
Serve:
Plate the tacos alongside a serving of Mexican rice. Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying taco meal!
These loaded beef tacos with cheese and fresh toppings are perfect for a family dinner, paired with seasoned rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
