One Pot Mexican Beef Rice
Ready in 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 brown onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 500 g beef mince or pork mince or chicken mince
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 celery sticks finely chopped
- 1 carrot large, finely diced
- 1 green zucchini finely diced
- 175 g Simply Wholesome Pantry Mexican Recipe Base
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups jasmine rice rinsed
- 3.25 cups chicken stock or beef stock
Serving suggestions: iceberg lettuce, diced tomato & red onion, avocado, grated tasty cheese, sour cream, and fresh lime juice.
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the mince to the pot. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle in the oregano and stir to combine. Add the celery, carrot, and zucchini to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the Simply Wholesome Pantry Mexican meal base and tinned tomatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rinsed jasmine rice to the pot and stir until it is well coated with the tomato mixture. Pour in the chicken or beef stock, ensuring that the rice is fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Serve in a bowl with iceberg lettuce, diced tomato and red onion, avocado slices, grated tasty cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
