Mexi-Beef Rice Mix

A simple creation that I made the other night for dinner. Quick and easy to do! Feel free to add more vegetables! I used whatever I had in the fridge at the time but feel free to explore!

1 lb of beef
1 package of Taco Seasoning
1 1/4 cup of white rice
1 can of mexi-corn (drained)
1/4 cup of black beans (drained)
3 shakes of crushed red pepper
1/2 cup of water (for beef)
Salsa (optional)

In a small pot, bring water to a hard boil then add rice. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, cook meat in 1/2 cup of water. Once meat starts to brown, add taco seasoning. Break meat into chunks as you cook it. Stir til evenly coated. Once meat is thoroughly cooked add mexi-corn, beans, and crushed red pepper. Stir so corn and beans are evenly coated.

When rice is fully cooked, drain rice then place in a large tupperware container with beef mix. Place a lid on the tupperware container and shake until rice and beef mixture are well mixed. (I find that this is less messy than stirring...if the lid is closed correctly). Serve and enjoy!

*Try This* I had a lot of this leftover so I did some experimentation the next day for lunch. If you take this mix and put it in a wrap or burrito it is so good. Be sure not to over stuff the burrito though, otherwise it's a little messy. But feel free to add salsa and sour cream to the mix for the burrito. I added sour cream to the burrito I made and it's so good!
