Tex-Mex Taco Dinner


Source: Kraft Spring '09 Magazine

H and I love tacos. We have our homemade tacos a couple times a month. So when I saw this recipe in the magazine I knew we'd like it.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef
  • 1/4 large onion, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 cup fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup Cheez Whiz Cheese Dip
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
Preparation
  • Brown meat in large skillet
  • Add chili powder, broth, and water; stir.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Stir in rice and Cheez Whiz; cover
  • Simmer on low heat 5 minutes; stirring occasionally.
  • Serve topped with lettuce and tomatoes
Extra- Sour cream makes a great topping for this dish.

Next Time- I added the sour cream to this, and it was great. There wasn't a lot of flavor in the rice/meat part of this. So I'm thinking either use a taco seasoning packet instead of the chili powder, or a nacho cheese dip instead of just plain cheese. Something to spice it up a bit and give it some more flavor. As is, this is still a good recipe, H and I are just used to a little more flavor.
