Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 Jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasonings use your favorite
  • 1 tsp cayenne powder
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes + more for serving
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce use your favorite + more for serving
  • 1 cup rice cooked
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 roasted jalapeno sliced
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the jalapenos, onion and ground beef. Cook them down until the ground beef is cooked mostly through, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and stir. Cook another minute, then add your taco seasonings, cayenne, chili flakes and hot sauce and about a half cup of water. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors absorb and the liquid reduce. You can simmer longer if you'd like.
  3. Spoon the rice into bowls, then add the taco meat. Top with fresh herbs, tomato, avocado, roasted jalapeno and extra spicy chili flakes. Add on any other topping you desire.
  4. Serve with extra hot sauce!

Notes

  • Heat Factor: Medium-Hot. You can REALLY up the heat with a crazy HOT hot sauce, or by using extra spicy chili flakes. I have some 7-Pot flakes here that blast this up.
