# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large 5-quart sauté pan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the onion and garlic in the pan, cooking and stirring until the onions begin to brown.
02 -
Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned. Drain the grease from the beef.
03 -
Add the rice, tomatoes, tomato paste, taco seasoning, corn, black beans, bell pepper, and chicken broth to the pan. Stir well, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 18-20 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
04 -
Squeeze the juice from one lime over the dish and stir. Add salt and pepper as needed.
05 -
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish. Cover and allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
06 -
Serve the dish in a bowl with your preferred garnishes and enjoy.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Fresh tomatoes can substitute for canned. Use about a pound of fresh tomatoes or 5-6 medium-sized ones with their juices. Cooking times for the rice may vary.
02 -
If the rice is too wet and not tender, return the lid and cook longer. If the rice is tender but the dish remains liquid, cook uncovered at medium-high heat to reduce excess liquid.
