Ingredients
 

  • 2 pkgs, 5.4 oz Knorr Mexican Rice
  • 3.5 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 pkg, 12 oz frozen corn
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Fiesta blend cheese, finely shredded

Directions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine water and vegetable oil and bring to a boil. Add both packages of rice. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 7-10 minutes, until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to stand for at least 2 minutes.
  • In a medium skillet, combine ground beef, cumin, and salt. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is browned and cooked through. Drain well.
  • Add corn to a microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH power for 7 minutes until warmed through.
  • Place black beans in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH power for 1 minute until the beans are warm.
  • Serve this meal family-style where everyone can design their own Fiesta Rice Bowl with ingredients that they like.
  • Suggested order: rice, ground beef, black beans, corn, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, red onion, cheese. Stir to combine. Top with half of a sliced avocado.
