Taco Filling

Rice

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

1

Cook the Protein

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken (or beef or tongue) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add taco seasoning and cook for an additional 2 minutes until well combined.

2

Warm Tortillas

In another pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

Prepare the Rice

3

Cook the Rice

In a pot, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.

Prepare the Beans

4

Heat the Beans

In a saucepan, combine the canned black beans, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Assemble the Taco

5

Build the Taco

Take a warm tortilla, fill it with the cooked protein, a scoop of rice, and a scoop of beans. Top with chopped cilantro, chopped onion, and a squeeze of lime.
