Steps
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned.
Mix in the chopped red bell pepper and diced onion. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
Add the rice and taco seasoning to the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring well until the rice is golden and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the cooked rice mixture. Cover again until the cheese melts.
Notes
This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water to revitalize the rice's moisture.
