Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasonings use your favorite
- 1 tsp cayenne powder
- 1 tsp red chili flakes + more for serving
- 2 tbsp hot sauce use your favorite + more for serving
- 1 cup rice cooked
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 tomato diced
- 1 roasted jalapeno sliced
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the jalapenos, onion and ground beef. Cook them down until the ground beef is cooked mostly through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and stir. Cook another minute, then add your taco seasonings, cayenne, chili flakes and hot sauce and about a half cup of water. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors absorb and the liquid reduce. You can simmer longer if you'd like.
- Spoon the rice into bowls, then add the taco meat. Top with fresh herbs, tomato, avocado, roasted jalapeno and extra spicy chili flakes. Add on any other topping you desire.
- Serve with extra hot sauce!
Notes
Heat Factor: Medium-Hot. You can REALLY up the heat with a crazy HOT hot sauce, or by using extra spicy chili flakes. I have some 7-Pot flakes here that blast this up.
