TACO RICE WITH QUESO

Ingredients:

1 cup long-grain white rice

2 cups water

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 packet taco seasoning mix

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup queso dip (store-bought or homemade)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

1/4 cup chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Season and Combine: Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans, and corn. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything is heated through and well combined.

Assemble the Taco Rice: Spread the cooked rice evenly on a serving platter. Top with the beef mixture, spreading it evenly over the rice.

Add the Queso: Drizzle the queso dip generously over the top of the beef mixture. You can also serve additional queso on the side.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and chopped cilantro over the top. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
