- Follow the package directions and nake the rice in the microwave for 90 seconds.
- Add the heated rice to the skillet and stir to mix it all together. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Put the cheese on top of the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to let the cheese melts.
- Serve the taco rice skillet as is or add any taco toppings you like - sour cream, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, olives and tomatoes are all delicious.
