My wonderful hubby says he is always excited when I make my ‘Mama Surprise’, and this dish was a winner.
I wanted tacos but was out of most things so threw a bunch of stuff together and came up wit this. It’s quick easy and yummy.
Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can of corn drained a bit
- 1 can of black beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cans diced tomatoes not drained
- 1 lb ground meat (I used turkey)
- 4 tbls *taco seasoning (I make my own spice mixes and store in mason jars)
- 2 cups uncooked rice with 4 cups water
Directions
Start your rice first. If you have an electric tea kettle this a great time to use it to save time on waiting for water to boil. Then start browning your ground meat (or cubed up tofu would be incredible in my opinion. Once protein is ready then dump all other ingredients in and let simmer while rice cooks.
Then just grab a bowl and layer with some rice then add your mix then top it with goodies and dinners done.
Toppings:
- block of cheese of your choice, I shredded colby-jack
- sour cream
- in the summer when we have some growing I always add fresh chives
- then whatever else sounds good to you: fresh chopped onions, olives, etc
Till then Enjoy and God Bless
