Weeknights can be rough sometimes - getting dinner on the table doesn't need to make it harder than it has to be. This one pot Mexican Beef & Rice is so easy to put together and you probably have most of the staple ingredients in your kitchen already. It is also a very hearty meal that is sure to fill everyone up! By cooking this all in one pan, you get so much flavor developed in a short cook time.
Mexican Beef & Rice
One pot meals are a busy family's dream. Especially one like this, that sits covered for most of the cook time. You can get things done around the house while it cooks away and gets so much flavor pushed into the rice and beef. I used jalapenos and a hot red taco sauce. As always, adjust as you need to for heat levels. Green chilies are great to swap out for the jalapenos. And you can use mild, medium or hot taco sauce (red or green).

I served this with a could of warm tortillas (soft taco sized) so that we could rip pieces off and put spoon fulls of the rice & beef mixtures. And some sour cream for garnish is good too. Since this dish has all the bases covered (veggies, starch and protein) I didn't add anything on the side. This stuff is also great as a lunch leftover.
