What Makes This Dish So Tasty

Quick, hearty, and full of bold flavors. It combines the ease of one-pot cooking with the comforting spices of a classic taco. Perfect for busy weeknights or when you want a satisfying meal with minimal cleanup.

Tips For Best Results

- Brown the meat well to develop more flavor before adding other ingredients.
- Use fresh spices if possible for a brighter, more vibrant taste.
- Let the chili simmer gently to allow flavors to meld and thicken the sauce.

Step 1

Gently heat a heavy pot over medium heat. Toss in the onions and ground beef, cooking and stirring until the beef is nicely browned and crumbly and the onions have softened, which should take about 5 minutes. Once that’s done, drain any excess grease from the pot.

Step 2

Pour in the beef broth and add the beans, tomatoes, corn, and the Knorr Fiesta Sides - Taco Rice. Stir in a tablespoon of buttery spread to give it a nice richness. Bring everything up to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the rice is tender—this usually takes around 7 minutes.

Step 3

After it's done cooking, take the pot off the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Give it a good stir, then serve it up with some shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top. Enjoy!

Simple Serving Suggestions

Serve with warm tortillas or over a bed of rice. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado for extra creaminess and freshness. A side of crunchy tortilla chips makes a great addition.

Leftover Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it becomes too thick. This chili also freezes well for up to 3 months.
