  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
  • fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Brown the ground beef with the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño in a large 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Drain excess grease.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, rice, chili powder, chipotle powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly combined
  • Cover the skillet with an oven-safe lid or tightly with foil.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Long-grain rice is key for the right texture. Short-grain rice can turn gummy.
  • Letting the dish rest before fluffing makes a big difference in texture.
  • For extra flavor, try mixing in a spoonful of tomato paste with the tomatoes.
