Instructions

To a large skillet, add the olive oil, onion, and saute over medium-high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes; stir intermittently.
Add the beef, red bell pepper, and saute for about 5 minutes, or until beef is cooked through; stir and crumble beef as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir constantly.
Add the cooked rice, cowboy caviar*, and stir to combine. Turn off the heat, taste the dish, and if desired, add salt and pepper, to taste.
Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately. Recipe will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes

If you can't find Cowboy Caviar because you don't have a Trader Joe's in your area or don't order it online, and are using another salsa, make sure it's a thick and chunky salsa. You don't want a thinner/runnier salsa like you'd use for dipping chips.
