Taco Rice Review -
Thank you so much for posting this link for Taco Rice, Sharon - what a delicious dinner this was. I had some leftover Mexican rice and white rice, so that's what I used. But, next time it will be with brown rice and even better, I'll bet.
I topped mine with the old family favorite taco topping - lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, olives & onion. Plust the rice and 'doctored' ground beef.

3 c cooked rice (1 c raw)
taco seasoning of your choice ( 2 T. Southwest Seasoning or taco seasoning)
lettuce, chopped
tomato, chopped
cheddar cheese, grated
Prepare rice. Brown ground beef and seasoning according to package or recipe directions.
Make a mount of rice on a plate and top with ground beef. Layer on chopped lettuce, grated cheddar cheese, and diced tomato. Pick up a spoon and enjoy!
I used my Southwest Seasoning – from ‘the Pantry’ of B.B. & Corn book
Southwest Seasoning
Anytime a recipe calls for ‘Taco seasoning,’ this substitute works great, plus it’s healthier ~ you know exactly what is in it!
2 T. chili powder
2 T. paprika
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 T. salt
1 T. dried oregano
2 tsps. ground cumin
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Combine all the seasoning ingredients and store in an air tight jar. Use the seasoning mixture on chicken, pork or salmon. Store in a plastic baggie in refrigerator or freezer.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
CJ’s tip: try the seasoning on a baked potato, or sprinkle over freshly cooked pasta tossed with olive oil and lemon juice.
