“We love Southwest-flavored foods and this fun recipe is a favorite,” writes June Barrus from Springville, Utah. “If you like it hotter, just add some chili powder and cumin.”
Ingredients:
1/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/4 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup canned mexican diced tomatoes, undrained
2 teaspoons tomato paste
3/4 cup canned ranch style beans (pinto beans in seasoned tomato sauce), undrained
1 package (1 ounce) corn chips
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
2 tablespoons salsa
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
