I tested this one out on the ol' family and it was a HUGE hit. I love when something is so easy to make and SO delicious!! I tried to use all fresh veggies when I made this, therefore, extending the prep time, but if you use the canned options, you have a delicious dinner in a half-hour or less!!! With our little family of three, there was plenty for left overs and lunches!
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced sweet onion
1 pound lean hamburger
1/3 cup Salsa
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz can corn, drained
2 Medium tomatoes diced (or one 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes)
1/2 cup of diced green chiles (or 4 oz can diced green chiles)
1 cup jasmine rice (or any long grain)
1 Tablespoon fajita (or taco) seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups chicken stock (chicken broth works too)
1 cup shredded cheddar/jack cheese
S & P to taste
Directions:
In a large pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onions and red peppers. Add in hamburger and cook until browned. Stir in salsa, black beans, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, jasmine rice, taco seasoning and chili powder. Pour in chicken stock and then bring to a light boil. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is all the way cooked.
When rice is done, S&P to taste. Top with your favorite toppings. We served it with shredded cheese on top and a dollop of sour cream :)
