I was surprised to find that there is no recipe for this already on here. This was a staple "fast food" to eat after a night of fun in Okinawa. It is a great alternative to taco salad!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Brown ground beef in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic when it is almost cooked through, or not very much pink left. Cook till meat is done. Add taco packet seasoning. Follow directions on packet as to how much water to add and how long to simmer.
  2. 2
    When meat is done put over rice in either one big bowl or in individual bowls. Top with salsa and sprinkle with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, and whatever other toppings you wish. Enjoy!

Fun, quick dinner when you want something a little different from tacos. I topped with all the listed toppings, plus avocado.

    This is a weekly staple in our home. Hubby was in military for 20 years and while living in Japan ate this often.....Great stuff!

    This was very good and a nice alternative to tacos (especially when you're out of tortillas). I think in the future I will blend the taco seasoning in a blender with some stewed tomatoes to make the meat a little "saucier". Otherwise, for our taste, the salsa is really necessary. I will make this again... thank you!
