Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion (large, chopped)
  • 10 oz extra lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup Jasmine rice (dry, rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup Pinto Beans (cooked, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes (from the can with the juices)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 tsps taco seasoning
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tbsps cilantro (chopped)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and soften for two to three minutes. Add the meat, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook for five to seven minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.
  3. Stir in the rice, beans, tomatoes, broth, and taco seasoning. Cover and cook on the stove over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the rice is cooked to al dente and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  4. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake in the oven for eight to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Top with cilantro and enjoy!
