Tex Mex Rice

Makes: 4-6 servings

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of grass fed beef
  • 3 TBS olive oil
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 serrano chiles
  • 32 oz organic vegetable broth
  • 1 large green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 TBS chili powder
  • 1 TBS cumin
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 TBS fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

What to do:

  • Dice your onion, bell pepper, and tomato; chop up your cilantro; slice the serrano peppers once or twice along the sides
  • Brown your ground beef in a large skillet until it’s cooked all the way through; remove the meat and set it aside and discard the grease
  • Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium high heat and add the uncooked rice and serrano peppers
  • Stir the rice constantly for about 10-13 minutes until it begins to brown – be careful not to burn the rice
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet and mix well
  • Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes; you want all of the liquid to evaporate
  • Remove the serrano peppers and fluff the rice with a fork and serve with your favorite hot sauce
