Taco Rice

Here is the version of Taco Rice that we have made at our house. It came out of the freezer and tasted better than the day we made it I thought. I also boiled the ground beef. I made it because it was a recipe that my sister-in-law wanted to make when we were cooking together. My family liked it and so did I. I will definitely make this again. Khandi Taco Rice
