Method

Tacos

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat, add a bit of water as directed on the seasoning packet, and stir well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble Tacos

    Spoon the meat mixture into each taco shell. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños as desired.

Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Beans

  1. 6

    Heat the Beans

    In a small saucepan, combine the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
