Tacos Reinvented
My hunt for warm, easy but delicious meals for winter nights underway. To get out of my cooking rut, I’ve tried re-inventing some old favorite! It’s fun to experiment with meals my family already knows and loves by putting them in a bowl to serve! This taco recipe is a great way to use familiar ingredients and flavors, but put a whole new spin on them.
This recipe has all the familiar pieces: ground beef with taco seasoning, beans, whole kernel corn, tomato, and rice! Instead of cilantro rice as my family usually eats, I’m trading it out for brown rice, and I’m cooking my corn on the cob and cutting it off for the bowl. Like I said, familiar taco ingredients but prepared slightly differently to give a little variation! Here is the recipe:
1 cup brown rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds ground beef*
2 (1.25-ounce) package taco seasonings
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
Directions:
