Description
Up your taco night game with this delicious, healthy Mexican brown rice made easy with taco seasoning and store-bought salsa. Though it’s not traditional, the nutty flavor and delicate texture of brown basmati rice (or brown jasmine rice) really shine here. Don't use short-grain rice, though, as it would become mushy. The salsa is a big part of the flavor of the dish, so be sure to choose one that’s the heat level you like — and if your market doesn’t sell a salsa made with both corn and black beans, buy a black bean salsa and stir in a little frozen corn. The recipe, which makes 4 cups, is a Yummly original created by Ivy Manning.
