Tips and variations
Taco seasoning: MSG-containing taco seasoning mixtures should be avoided. Also, because different brands have different quantities of salt (and other additives), it’s a good idea to examine the nutrition information for the brands available in your store.
To serve as an appetizer, combine the following ingredients. Simply leave out the rice and serve with whole-grain tortilla chips for a substantial appetizer dip.
