Variations

Tips for the Best Taco Rice
- Let the Flavors Soak In: Allow the rice to sit for a minute after cooking to absorb all the flavors.
- Use Freshly Grated Cheese: It melts better and makes the dish extra creamy.
- Make It a Meal: Serve with tortilla chips, guacamole, or a side salad.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
