Ingredients

• 1 c. long-grain white rice
• 2 c. water
• 1 T. olive oil
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 c. queso dip

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil; add the rice; reduce the heat to low; cover; simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork; set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef; cook until browned, breaking up the meat. Discard excess grease.
3. Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and corn; cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and well combined.
