Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef 96/4
  • 1-2 Tbsp Chili Powder to spice preference
  • 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 C 60g Tomato Paste*
  • 1/4 C 60g Lime Juice (about 2 small limes)*
  • 2 C 480mL Chicken Broth
  • 7 oz bag Cilantro Lime Right Rice**
  • 4 oz 112g Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  • Cook the ground beef using the Foodi's sauté function on high. Add the dry spices towards the end of cooking. Add the lime juice and tomato paste once the ground beef is fully cooked, stirring everything together.
  • Turn of the Foodi and add the chicken broth and Right Rice. Stir well.
  • Seal the Foodi and cook with high pressure for 5 minutes with quick release pressure (vent immediately).
  • Stir the ground beef and rice before adding the shredded cheese on top. Use the Foodi's broil function for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

* Equal parts salsa or enchilada sauce should work fine here.
** 1 1/3 cup instant rice should work as a substitute for the Right Rice.
You could also swap out the spices for a packet of taco seasoning for an even faster prep.
