Tex Mex Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown the sausage meat, breaking it up into small pieces. When starting to brown, add the frozen corn (no need to thaw), onions, bell peppers and jalapenos. Season with the chili powder, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Add the rice and stir-fry until heated through and coated with the vegetable mixture. Add the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and lime zest and juice. Stir-fry until the rice is just starting to brown. Add the scallions and stir well so that they are thoroughly mixed in. Serve and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a colander until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a 5- to 10-cup rice cooker. Fill with water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the beans in a small pile. Directly next to the beans, add the ground beef in a pile, then the red pepper, green pepper and corn, so each ingredient has its own section of the circle.
• Turn the tomato core-side down and make a deep X with a sharp knife across the bottom. Place the tomato in the center of the rice cooker with the X facing up. Close the rice cooker and follow the manufacturer's directions to set to regular white rice.
