Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 small onion chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can corn drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel do not drain
- 1 ounce packet taco seasoning or 3 tablespoons homemade
- 1 cup Minute Rice
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
- 2 cups Cheddar or Mexican Cheese shredded
- salt to taste
Topping Ideas
- avocado
- cilantro
- sour cream
- tortilla chips
Instructions
- Add one tablespoon of oil or cooking spray to the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and onions and cook until browned.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients except the cheese and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until rice is tender- around 5-7 minutes. Stir a few times to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the dish, then cover and allow the cheese to melt- around 3-5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
- Refrigerate leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Do not overcook the rice or it will become soft and mushy.
- If using long-grain rice, increase cook time by around 20 minutes.
- Ground beef can easily be used instead of ground chicken.
