Taco Fried Rice
For the best taste, use only J. T. Cano's Island Premium Rice.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
3 to 4 cups cooked J. T. Cano's Island Premium Rice (preferably leftover rice)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb. ground beef 80% lean
1/2 pouch 1/2 oz. taco seasoning mix
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup water
Instructions
1. Sprinkle the salt over the cooked J. T. Cano's Island Premium Rice. Using a large spoon, gently toss the rice to distribute the salt equally and to avoid the rice from forming. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat the cooking oil in a pan.
3. Once the oil becomes hot, put-in the ground beef and cook until it turns light to medium brown (3 to 5 minutes).
4. Pour-in the water and then mix-in the taco seasoning. Stir and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid evaporates.
5. Add-in the rice. Toss once in a while using a flat spatula. Make sure that you DO NOT press the rice with the spatula as the rice can stick with each other -- we want out rice to be as loose as possible. Continue to cook for 5 to 8 minutes in medium heat.
6. Transfer to a serving plate. Top with chopped parsley. Serve.
7. Share and enjoy!
