🌮🍚Taco Rice Recipe: The OG Mexican and Japanese Fusion Dish

Dice fresh tomatoes and place them in a small bowl.

Dice 1 small onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Add a dash of cayenne pepper, salt, fresh pepper, and lime juice to the bowl and mix everything together. Refrigerate until serving.

Chop or tear Roma lettuce or green leaf lettuce and set aside.

Prepare a spice mix with salt, pepper, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili, and cayenne pepper.

Heat oil in a pan and add ground beef, cooking until browned.

Add half of the prepared spice mix to the beef while cooking.

Add cumin to the beef after it has started to brown.

Once the beef is cooked, add a small amount of tomato sauce for moisture and sweetness.

Add the remaining spice mix and a touch more cumin to the beef and mix well.

Serve the taco rice by flattening a bed of white rice on a plate.

Add chopped lettuce on top of the rice.

Spoon the cooked beef mixture over the lettuce.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef.

Top with the pico de gallo made earlier and your favorite hot sauce.

Finish with a dollop of sour cream.
