5 Ingredients, one skillet, a full meal in just 15-20 minutes! It's like homemade hamburger helper!
- ½ lb ground meat (beef or turkey)
- 1 can tomatoes with green chilies (or with bell peppers and onions for less spice)
- 2 cups rice
- 3½ cups chicken broth
- 1 cup grated cheese
- Brown your meat in a large skillet on medium heat. Drain fat if you want to. I don't usually.
- Add canned tomatoes, stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add rice and broth and heat to a boil.
- Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender. You may need to add more broth depending on what kind of rice you use.
- Add cheese and stir until well combined.
- Season with salt, pepper, and any Mexican spices you like. I put cumin, chili powder, garlic, cayenne pepper in mine, but it tastes good without it too.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve with beans and tortillas (optional)
