Rice and Beans Ingredients

Method

Taco Assembly Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    If using ground beef, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. If using grilled chicken, ensure it is diced into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Season the Filling

    Add salt and black pepper to taste while cooking the meat or chicken.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Taco

    Place the taco shell on a plate. Fill it with the cooked meat or chicken, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and sliced avocado on top.

Rice and Beans Directions

  1. 4

    Prepare the Rice

    Heat the cooked white rice in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Beans

    In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add canned black beans, cumin, and garlic powder. Stir and heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Garnish

    If desired, chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the beans before serving.
