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