This taco skillet is built as a complete dinner rather than just taco filling. Rice cooks in the seasoned tomato broth, while beans and corn stretch the beef and make every serving substantial.
A tight lid and low heat are essential once the rice goes in. Letting the skillet rest off heat finishes the grains without scorching the bottom.
The method behind the meal
Why this recipe works
- •Use regular long-grain white rice, not instant rice.
- •Drain excess grease before blooming the spices.
- •Do not repeatedly lift the lid while the rice cooks.
