Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 3 – 4 chopped cloves of garlic
• 1 cup of salsa
• 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 medium chopped onion
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Step 1

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan. Once heated through, add the chopped onion, and saute until softened. Next, add the ground beef, season with some salt and ground black pepper, and cook until it turns brown. Once browned, add the chopped cloves of garlic and continue to cook for another minute or so. After this, add 1 packet of taco seasoning, 1 cup of uncooked rice, 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth, and 1 cup of salsa. Mix and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan with its lid.

Step 2

Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Stir it occasionally so the rice won’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Once the rice is tender, turn the heat off and sprinkle 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese over along with 1/2 cup chopped cilantro. Stir them in and cover the pan for two minutes to let the cheese melt fully. Serve and enjoy!
