Method

  1. 1

    Brown the lean beef mince in a large pan over medium‑high heat. Once browned, add the taco seasoning, diced red onion, and diced red capsicum; cook for a few minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 2

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato passata, beef stock, and the uncooked jasmine rice. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 3

    Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender. If the mixture looks dry, add a splash of water.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, cover the pan again and let it melt, then garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
