1 pound ground beef
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
3/4 cup uncooked instant rice
1/2 cup water
1 envelope taco seasonings
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 package (16 ounces) tortilla chips
Optional toppings: Sour cream, sliced fresh jalapenos, shredded lettuce and lime wedges
Directions:
In a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until it's no longer pink, six to eight minutes, breaking it into fine crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the tomatoes, corn, rice, water, taco seasoning and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender and the mixture is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the taco meat from the heat and sprinkle the cheese. Cover and let stand until the cheese is melted, about five minutes. Divide the tortilla chips among six plates and spoon the beef mixture over the chips. Top with sour cream, fresh jalapenos, shredded lettuce and a squeeze of lime.
