Ingredients
- 2 cups white rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 2
Combine the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water in a medium-sized pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then return the skillet to the heat. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, soy sauce, and ketchup. Mix well to coat the beef evenly and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it evenly among serving plates or bowls.
Step 6
Top the rice with a generous portion of the seasoned taco beef, followed by shredded cheddar cheese. Let the cheese melt slightly from the heat of the beef.
Step 7
Add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced green onions as toppings. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Okinawa Taco Rice and Cheese Trc!
