Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, salt, and pepper. Drain excess grease if needed.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the Rotel, tomato sauce, black beans, corn, broth, and rinsed rice. Mix everything well.

Cover and let the mixture simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Stir once or twice so nothing sticks to the pan.

Stir in half the shredded Colby Jack cheese. Sprinkle the rest evenly on top, cover, and let the cheese melt. For a bubbly, golden finish, you can place it under the broiler for a minute or two.

Scoop the cheesy taco rice into bowls. Finish with your favorite toppings such as dollops of sour cream, fresh cilantro, taco sauce, pico de gallo, or even some crunchy tortilla chips.
