I make up Mexican recipes all the time with leftover ingredients. I love to make things in a skillet because it’s easier for me. I do not want to heat my whole kitchen using an oven. A big skillet works better for me. This recipe was made with leftover taco meat. It was enough to make this entire meal because of the rice and other ingredients that were added. It’s a simple skillet recipe. It’s a very tasty taco dish with ingredients. You probably have them on hand. I hope you enjoy this weeknight meal. Also, you can add in a can of corn if you'd like.
