All you need to whip up this family-friendly rice is one pot, eight ingredients and 40 minutes. Infused with rich savoury tomato flavours, beef mince, Mexican spice and mixed veggies, it’s an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 450g beef mince

  • 1 pack (70g) Pams Burrito Mexican spice mix

  • 1 can (400g) Pams diced tomatoes

  • 1 ¾ cups vegetable stock

  • 1 cup long-grain rice

  • 1 ½ cups Pams frozen mixed veges

Method

  1. Bring a drizzle of oil to medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes or until softened.

  2. Add the beef mince and Mexican spice mix. Cook, while stirring for 4-5 minutes or until browned.

  3. Stir through the diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, rice and mixed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to sit, covered for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Top tip: Garnish with a handful of freshly chopped coriander for a herbaceous addition.

To bulk up this meal stir in a can of drained and rinsed black beans before removing the pot from the heat.
