Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 count onion
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 14½ oz no-salt-added canned diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 15 oz no-salt-added canned black beans
- 1 count red bell pepper
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 count lime
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Steps
- Brown the beef with the oil and diced onion in a deep skillet, 7 minutes, until no pink and 160°F inside. Drain and add the garlic.
- Stir in the rice, taco seasoning and tomato paste for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes, broth and diced pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer on low 18 minutes until the rice is tender.
- Stir in the rinsed and drained beans, corn and lime juice, cover 3 minutes to heat through.
- Top with cheddar and serve in bowls.
- Picky eater tip: let them build a bowl with just plain rice, beef and cheese.
- Make ahead: dice the onion and pepper and shred the cheese up to 2 days ahead; leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge.
On the side: Quick slaw (5 min)
1 bag coleslaw mix, 1 bottle coleslaw dressing
- Toss the coleslaw mix with the dressing. Let it sit a few minutes before serving.
