Taco Rice Bowl
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked brown rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
1
Begin by placing a saucepan on the stovetop and filling it with 3 cups of water. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil, then carefully add the rice and stir it gently to distribute the grains evenly.
2
Next, decrease the heat to a lower setting and cover the saucepan with a lid. Continue to cook the rice mixture for 45 minutes, allowing it to absorb the water and become tender.
3
Once the cooking time has elapsed, remove the saucepan from the heat source and let it sit undisturbed for 15 minutes. This will allow the rice to continue cooking slightly and become even more palatable.
4
Now, add a packet of taco seasoning, kidney beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper to the cooked rice. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine.
5
Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it has reached a heated and well-combined state.
