Cheesy Ranch Taco Rice

Description

I took my original Cheesy Ranch Tacos and gave it a little twist.  Same simple supper, new way to serve it!


Ingredients

Scale
  • about ½ cup of cooked and ready to eat white rice per person
  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 (1 oz) packet of Ranch seasoning (the powdered mix)
  • 1 (4 oz) can of chopped green chiles
  • 1 cup of your favorite Ranch dressing (we use Trader Joe’s)
  • 2 cups of shredded Mexican blended cheese (I like the cheddar/Monterrey Jack combo), divided (reserve some for garnishing)
  • chopped green or red onions to garnish

Instructions

  1. Make sure you have your cooked and ready to eat white rice ready to go!  This recipe moves fast.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown your ground beef in a drizzle of EVOO until browned and crumbly.  Once browned, stir in salt and pepper, your Ranch seasoning mix, chopped green chiles, Ranch dressing, and ¾ of your shredded cheese.
  3. Mix everything together and simmer about 10 minutes.
  4. Next up, serve!  Add white rice to each plate and then a dollop of your cheesy ranch mixture on top.  Garnish with some more shredded cheese and/or chopped green or red onions.

Notes

We double this recipe (sometimes even triple it!) every single time we make it.  This is also great as a leftover too!  We also use Trader Joe’s frozen jasmine rice as a quick and delicious way to get white rice for the meal.
