Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- ½ cup instant white rice
- ½ cup chicken or beef broth

Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large skillet, and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes.

- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add the white rice, broth, enchilada sauce, and beans. Bring to a simmer, and cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

Notes
- Ground beef: I use 88% lean ground beef. If you find that you have quite a bit of grease, drain it before continuing.
- Taco seasoning: I like to make my own taco seasoning. Regular or reduced-sodium taco seasoning can also be used.
- Broth: I like to use either reduced-sodium broth or no salt broth to keep the dish from getting too salty.
