Instructions:

  1. ASSEMBLY: Start by browning the ground chicken and turkey in a pan. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.

  2. COMBINE: In a large saucepan, mix the browned meat with finely chopped onions, a taco seasoning packet, cooked white and brown rice, and diced tomatoes. Let the flavors meld together over medium heat.

  3. SIMMER: Allow the mixture to simmer until it reaches a thick, flavorful consistency. This usually takes around 30 minutes, giving you enough time to savor the enticing aromas wafting through your kitchen.

  4. FREEZING & COOKING: For a convenient make-ahead option, cool the Taco Rice, label it, and freeze it in either bags or rigid containers. Don’t forget to freeze a separate zip-top bag with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese for each meal.

  5. TO SERVE: When you’re ready to enjoy this culinary masterpiece, simply thaw it completely. For a delightful taco salad, warm the mixture over medium heat. Serve it on a bed of crisp lettuce, alongside taco chips, fresh tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and the reserved shredded cheese.

  6. NOTES: Our chef recommends using Uncle Ben’s Rice for an extra touch of perfection. For a twist, roll up this deliciousness in warm tortillas or use it as a mouthwatering burrito filling. The possibilities are as endless as your culinary imagination!

  7. EXTRA TIP: Many users have attested that it surpasses expectations, making it even better than anticipated. Feel free to customize your Taco Rice experience – whether in tortillas, as a burrito, or as a standalone dish.

Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors, and let this Taco Rice recipe become a staple in your household, just as it did for Khandi and her family! 🌶️🧀🥑 Don’t miss out on this culinary sensation that promises to elevate your Mexican-inspired dining experiences to new heights. ¡Buen provecho! 🌯🎊
