For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of your favorite taco seasoning.
If you prefer a different type of rice, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Brown rice will require a longer cooking time.
Feel free to add other toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or chopped green onions for a more personalized touch.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the beef while sautéing.
This recipe is also great with ground turkey or chicken as a substitute for ground beef.
