Instructions

Step 1:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, crumbling it with a spatula as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 2:
Add the taco seasoning packet and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 3:
Lower the heat and stir in the uncooked Minute Rice. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the rice is evenly coated in the seasoned liquid.

Step 4:
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 5:
Remove the lid and stir in the salsa and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated and the cheese is melted.

Step 6:
Serve the Taco Rice hot, garnished with additional cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions if desired.
