Tex-Mex Rice Bowl

My son and husband liked this. I mixed it with some Greek yogurt for my toddler. It was super easy!

This was very bland to me. Too much rice, not enough spices. Not sure if it's trying to be a burrito filling, chili or what.

Quick and easy recipe for a weeknight. My 6 year old even wanted seconds! Definitely going into our rotation.

I used brown rice and cooked it myself (I can't stand pre-cooked rice, yuck!), but it was still super fast! Took about 15 total - good thing because the kiddos were starving! This was a complete hit and will be added to my regular rotation. Next time, I will add a second can of beans.

I cooked some brown rice and saved the extra for lunches. The dish was very tasty. My kids added some sour cream to cut a bit of the heat.

This was really good and couldn't have been easier! I was pleasantly surprised how good the pre-cooked rice was. I bought pico at Kroger which already had jalapenos and chipotle so literally the only work was browning the meat. I added a wedge of Laughing Cow queso to mine to add a little cheesiness. My husband approved as well.

We really like this and can have it on the table very quickly. Easy and delicious!

This was very good considering how easy it was. We used medium pico de gallo, so it had some heat.

We liked this a lot but found it to be way better once we sprinkled some cheese on top (in our case, feta - which we often substitute for queso fresco). We also used our own homemade taco seasoning (and even accounting for mixing that up, this was one of the fastest CL recipes I've ever thrown together!).

We love making this dish. It's so quick, easy and tasty. We forgot to get the black beans once, added fat-free refried beans instead, and like it even better that way. We have also used fresh salsa occasionally instead of the pico. It just tones it down a bit.

This was delicious and a great weeknight meal. Added the jalapeno only to mine and my husband's serving. It was not bland at all. The kids all loved it. Served it with the Avocado/Butter Lettuce Salad, which was delicious too. This will be in the regular rotation for sure.

Another tasty and easy weeknight meal. I love easy! The mild flavor made this dish one I could feed the baby. I also used a mild pico. She loved it! One could kick it up a notch by adding more taco seasoning.

Pretty good but flavor was bland. I like hot food. Next time I would use a hotter pico, made my own but will do it hotter. Can imagine fun stuff to do with it like a nacho bowl.

This was great! And easy to make. I used Pace hot picante sauce instead of pico de gallo and also a HUGE jalapeno. We LOVE spicy food and this was almost too hot for me and my husband. We added some cheese and sour cream so we could feel our tongues again! :-) Will definitely make this again!

This is a pretty good base line recipe, however the flavors were a little mild, it was missinng something for me. It may be that i just got a subpar premade pico de gallo - I bet this would really benefit from tomatoes at their peak in the summer. I added some pepper jack, which seemed to help a little but i think it was also missing some acid like lime juice. Overall it was easy to make and not too bad so 4 stars.

This is so easy and fast to make that it would have to be really bad to earn less than 4 stars. The concept is great, very little effort required. I drained and rinsed the beef after cooking it to get rid of some of the extra fat (as I do when I make beef tacos) before adding the seasoning. Next time I plan to use fresh refrigerated salsa instead of pico de gallo - I found the size and crunchiness of the raw onion to be a turn-off.
