Tips

  • You can use chicken, chorizo, ground beef, or skip the protein entirely for a cheesy rice dish.
  • To make it healthier, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top.
  • Adding pico de gallo makes it almost like a salad, so you can have two.
  • If you don’t like cilantro, skip it but still get your greens by eating limes or turning them into a margarita.
  • Serve with salsa, fresh pico de gallo, or taco sauce.
