Taco Soup With Spanish Rice Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet, brown ground meat and drain.
• 2. In a large stockpot or dutch oven, saute green pepper and onion in olive oil until soft. Add ground meat and stir.
• 3. Add canned beans, canned tomatoes, and canned corn. (The only thing I drain is the corn. Stir in ranch dressing mix, taco seasoning, and other spice until mixed well. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare Spanish rice according to package directions.
• 4. To serve, spoon a small amount of rice into the bottom of bowl, top with taco soup. I like to add another small spoonful of rice on top. Garnish with shredded cheddar, chopped avocado, and cilantro. This is a great, filling, easy, and comforting meal!

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, cook the ground beef until browned over medium heat. Drain, and set aside.
• Place the ground beef, onion, chili beans, kidney beans, corn, tomato sauce, water, diced tomatoes, green chile peppers and taco seasoning mix in a slow cooker. Mix to blend, and cook on Low setting for 8 hours.

Steps:

• Add the broth, rice, enchilada sauce, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a couple grinds of black pepper to a rice cooker and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender (a little of the enchilada sauce might pool on the top of the rice, which is okay). Use a rubber or wooden spatula to stir the rice. If the bottom of the rice has browned a bit, stir it into the rest of the rice. Keep the rice warm in the cooker until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the beef and let sit for 30 seconds without breaking up. Flip and let sit for another 30 seconds, then break up the meat using the back of a wooden spoon or spatula. Sprinkle liberally with salt. Add the cumin and chili powder and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the salsa and cook until warmed through and combined, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and cover with a lid to keep warm.
• When you are ready to serve, stir the lime zest, half of the lime juice and a third of the cilantro into the rice. Taste and season with salt, pepper and the remaining lime juice, if needed. Transfer to a bowl.
• Turn on the heat of a gas stove to medium-high. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, use a long pair of kitchen tongs to hold a tortilla over the open flame, turning the tortilla as needed to ensure even toasting, until lightly puffed and toasted in spots, about 30 seconds total. You do not want the tortillas to be crispy, but they should be charred in spots and pliable. Alternatively, you can toast the tortillas under the broiler until toasted in spots. Transfer the hot tortillas to a large platter.
• To serve, arrange the lettuce, cheese, sour cream, avocado, lime wedges, remaining cilantro and salsa in bowls and serve alongside the beef, Spanish rice and tortillas.
