  • Once boiling, stir in 3 cups instant, quick-cooking rice. Immediately remove the pot from the heat, cover with a lid, and let sit 5 minutes (or until the liquid is absorbed).

  • Return the pot to the stove over low heat. Add 1.5 cups warmed taco meat and 1.5 cups shredded taco cheese blend, stirring to combine.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is heated through.
  • Remove from heat and serve.
