Delicious Taco Skillet

Ground beef taco skillet, full of protein and veggies, is a delicious and easy family dinner that everyone will enjoy.

This is a surprisingly easy and exceptionally yummy dinner.  

Loaded with grass fed beef, diced tomatoes, onions, corn, monterey jack and cheddar cheeses, sour cream, olives, rice, taco seasoning, cilantro and spring onions, this is a well rounded and filling taco skillet pie dish.

I prefer a taco skillet with rice as I think the rice gives such a nice heartiness to the dish and, of course, adds more texture, which I always love.

Tips for this cheesy taco skillet recipe:

  1. For the rice, I used a packet of frozen white jasmine rice (from Trader Joe's), microwaved it for 3 minutes, and had it ready for when I needed to throw it in to this skillet.  I find this creates the best texture for the rice, rather than throwing in uncooked rice and cooking it in the skillet with the beef broth.  I added only 1 cup of the beef broth to this recipe, however, if you'd like to make this a "one pot" dinner, you can add in 1 cup of uncooked rice, 2 cups of beef broth and cook in the covered skillet for 20 minutes, until the rice is soft.  It just takes longer this way, and the rice generally does not turn out as fluffy.
  2. Throw lots of toppings on.  You can use what I listed or also add in avocado and salsa.  The combo of ingredients in this recipe was perfect for us, but other variations work well too.
  3. The recipe calls for a whole packet (about a ¼ cup) of taco seasoning.  I thought this would be too much, but its perfect.

When you're in the mood for a taco skillet supper, I recommend this one!  Our new nickname for this dish is Taco Skillet Delish!
