For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño to the beef mixture. Use pre-shredded cheese to save time. Try using brown rice for a nuttier flavor and added fiber, but increase the cooking time accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the chopped onion and 1/2 cup of the chopped green bell pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute until softened. (5 minutes)
02
Step
20 mins
Stir in water and half of the red chile sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir in corn, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. (20 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, sauté beef with the remaining 1/2 cup onion and 1/2 cup green bell pepper over medium-high heat until beef is browned and cooked through, and vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. (10 minutes)
04
Step
15 mins
Stir in remaining red chile sauce, Mexican-style tomato sauce, cumin, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld. (15 minutes)
05
StepTurn rice onto a serving platter and fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Top with the beef mixture. Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas and your favorite salsa.

Jun 30, 2025The rice was a little bland for my taste, so next time I'll add some chicken broth to the cooking liquid for more flavor.
