Taco Rice Skillet

Ingredients

2 cups rice microwave rice or leftover rice
1 pound ground beef
½ onion
1 poblano pepper
1 package taco seasoning 1 ounce
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 tomato
¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and stir to break up. Cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.

While the ground beef cooks dice the onion and poblano pepper. Add them to the ground beef along with the packet of taco seasoning once most of the pink is gone and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

Add the corn and tomato to the skillet and stir to mix well. If using leftover rice add it now, otherwise let the mixture continue to cook while you make the rice.

Follow the package directions and nake the rice in the microwave for 90 seconds.

Add the heated rice to the skillet and stir to mix it all together. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Put the cheese on top of the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to let the cheese melts.

Serve the taco rice skillet as is or add any taco toppings you like – sour cream, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, olives and tomatoes are all delicious.
