Mexican Rice with Ground Beef

Mexican Rice with Ground Beef

Do you need a new and simple one-pan meal in your life? Good. I have one for you! It's Mexican Rice with Ground Beef, and it's one of my favorite quick dishes to throw together any night of the week.

But, don't be fooled into thinking that a quick dish doesn't offer enough nutrition. I've found all kinds of ways to “sneak” in tons of nutrients into this meal, which is one of my family's favorites now.

About the Ingredients

There are a few things I'd like to explain the ingredients in this recipe, as they can be a bit different depending on what you have on hand and what you have prepared beforehand.

Salsa – I used my own homemade fermented salsa to make this recipe. You are welcome to use any kind of salsa. Just promise me that you will read the ingredients carefully and select as natural a salsa as possible (no additives or preservatives)

Mexican Rice with Ground Beef

Beef – I had some yummy leftover pieces of beef that I had cooked off of some soup bones to make broth. You are more than welcome to use whatever kind of beef you prefer. You could use leftover roast beef, stew meat, or even browned ground beef.

Pinto Beans – You may use either dried pinto beans that have been soaked and pre-cooked, or you may use canned/jarred pinto beans. Organic is best, and you should check out the ingredient list.

Learn why I eat white rice instead of brown rice. Also, you can learn how to make homemade taco seasoning.
