One Pot Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice
"This one pot recipe is easy, hearty, comfort food and it's packed with flavor and texture from the taco-seasoned ground beef, sautéed onions, salsa, tomatoes, corn, rice, cilantro, and cheese. It has all the ingredients you'd find in a burrito, minus the wrap, and made in a skillet. Get creative with your favorite Mexican ingredients. I used no salt-added tomatoes, medium heat salsa, and medium reduced-sodium taco seasoning. Use your favorites...."
