Taco Fried Rice

⏱ Prep: 10 min ⏱ Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

  • 4 cup cooked white rice (preferably leftover rice)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1.5 lb. ground beef (80% lean)
  • 1.5 pouch (1/2 oz. taco seasoning mix)
  • 1.25 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1.25 cup water

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the salt over the cooked white rice. Using a large spoon, gently toss the rice to distribute the salt equally and to avoid the rice from forming.Set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the cooking oil in a pan.

  3. Once the oil becomes hot, put-in the ground beef and cook until it turns light to medium brown (3 to 5 minutes).

  4. Pour-in the water and then mix-in the taco seasoning. Stir and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid evaporates.

  5. Add-in the rice. Toss once in a while using a flat spatula. Make sure that you DO NOT press the rice with the spatula as the rice can stick with each other -- we want out rice to be as loose as possible.Continue to cook for 5 to 8 minutes in medium heat.

  6. Transfer to a serving plate. Top with chopped parsley.

  7. Serve. Share and enjoy!
