  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 lb ground meat of choice (chicken, turkey or beef work best)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
  2. Heat a large oven-safe skillet with olive oil and onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until browned a bit
  3. Next add your beef and break it up with a wooden spoon
  4. Sauté for 4-5 minutes then stir in taco seasonings and cook until browned
  5. Strain any excess fat if desired then add in beans, rice, salsa and broth and stir
  6. Cover with foil and bake in oven for about 40-45 minutes until everything is softened and liquid is almost absorbed
  7. Remove foil then bake for 10 minutes uncovered until liquid is fully absorbed
  8. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake until melted (about 5-6 minutes!) I like to broil at the end but totally optional
  9. Serve while warm with desired toppings
