Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 454 g lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup 190 g long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1 can 14.5 oz / 411 g diced tomatoes
  • 1 can 15 oz / 425 g black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 3/4 cups 420 ml low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup 115 g shredded cheddar
  • Chopped cilantro and lime wedges optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the beef and onion in a deep skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and rice. Add tomatoes, beans, and broth. Bring to a boil.
  3. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
