Ingredients
Essentials:
- 1 lb. Ground beef

Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
2. Add taco seasoning and water as per the packet instructions. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Cook your rice according to package instructions. For extra flavor, use chicken broth or add a pinch of cumin to the water.
4. Start with a base of rice in each bowl.
5. Add a generous scoop of taco meat on top.

Notes
This dish is highly customizable — swap in ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles if desired.
For a spicier kick, use spicy Doritos or add sliced jalapeños.
Great for meal prep: store meat and rice separately and add fresh toppings and Doritos just before serving.
Add lime wedges or hot sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
