How to Make California Tacos
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 2/3 cup quick-cooking rice.
- Cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
- Serve the meat sauce immediately over a generous serving of corn or tortilla chips. Top with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
