The Best Taco Rice

Variations

  • Spicy Version: Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Chicken Taco Rice: Swap ground beef for shredded rotisserie chicken.
  • Creamy Taco Rice: Stir in ½ cup sour cream for a richer texture.
  • One-Pot Loaded Version: Add black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.

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.
