Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)

Instructions
- Cook the meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the seasonings: Stir in the taco seasoning, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, and rice. Stir to combine.
- Simmer: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and absorbed the liquid.
- Cheesy goodness: After the rice is cooked, stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and becomes creamy.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and the remaining cheese on top. Your Cheesy Taco Rice Skillet is now ready!
