For those Tuesdays when you are craving Tacos. This meal comes together in a flash and hey...now you know how to make taco seasoning from scratch too. You are welcome!Author: RightRice Test Kitchen
Cook Spanish RightRice according to package directions. Fluff after cooking and set aside in a bowl.
While the rice is cooking make the ground beef filling. In a large skillet heat up the olive oil to medium heat. Add in the onions and stir until translucent. About 5 minutes. Next add in the ground beef breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Cook for about 7 - 10 minutes until the beef is browned. Now add in the tomato paste, taco seasoning and water. Cook for a further 5 minutes coating the beef in sauce. Bring up to a slight simmer to evaporate some of the water about a minute or two. The beef should not be dry, but not too wet. Transfer to a bowl.
Just before serving toast the taco shells in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes until crispy.
To serve the tacos, start with the Spanish RightRice on the bottom and layer with the beef. Followed by some lettuce, tomatoes and cheese.
