 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another WW 30 minute meal. Tonight we are going Mexican. We are having an absolutely delicious satisfying filling and point friendly Mexican dish that is from our countertop to our table on our plates in 30 minutes or less. In fact, tonight was a little bit less. So if you wanna see what 30 minute meal I have in store for you, just stay tuned. For tonight's 30 minute meal, we are making a one pan taco rice dinner. So not only is this cooked in one pan, which is great, it is also from right here to your plate in 30 minutes or less. We're actually gonna shoot for 25 per the recipe instruction. So let me show you what's in our dinner. Simple, easy, quick. You're first going to need some taco seasoning of your choice, rice. I'm gonna be doing jasmine rice, salsa. I have the La Victoria Mild Organic Salsa. Some water, light shredded cheese. I'm using the Trader Joe's. You could really use any light shredded cheese. And lastly, a pound of 96-4 extra lean ground beef. So let's get started on tonight's 30 minute meal. The first step for our dinner tonight is we need to go ahead and cook down our extra lean ground beef. We wanna get this to the point that it is almost all the way browned before we add in our next ingredient. So give yourself five or so minutes to get your ground beef nice and cooked through. Once your hamburger is cooked through, we're gonna go ahead and add in our water. So I have one cup of water and then also our taco seasoning. So you'll wanna do to your liking. I try to do about a packet of taco seasoning. So we're gonna give this a good stir. Just get this nice and mixed together and then we'll be ready to add in our rice. Pop the lid on this and let that rice cook all the way through. After your mixture has come to a boil, we're gonna go ahead and add in one cup of uncooked rice. We're gonna get this stirred together, make sure all of your rice is under the liquid. Pop a lid on it, reduce your heat and we're gonna let this cook down for about eight to 10 minutes or just until our rice is cooked completely through. And by the way, right now it's been seven minutes. This is looking delicious. Once your rice is cooked through, we're gonna go ahead and add in our salsa. Now you can do as much as you want. The recipe calls for a cup. I'm just going to add it until it has the consistency that I want where I get a little bit of that bite of the salsa with every bite. So I'm gonna get that mixed in and then the last step is to go ahead and add in our cheese. So let's get our salsa mixed in. We'll add our cheese and we are done, my friends. And it has been just about 20 minutes. And the last step is our cheese. So I wanted to show you, I did one half of a cup of light shredded cheese and then I did one half of a cup of fat free cheese. I forgot to show you guys that in the beginning. So you want one cup of cheese total. So I just opted for half of that to be fat free just to cut down on the points because this is a little bit of a point heavy meal. So let me get everything mixed in really well. I'll get this served up, give you the smart points. All right, so here is my completed dinner. So I have a small plate, it's my cute little Halloween plate. This recipe only makes four servings. So you get a lot for the smart points. I went ahead and topped mine with a little bit of the non-fat Greek yogurt in place of sour cream because it's zero smart points. So this entire plate of food or one fourth of the recipe is only eight smart points. If you wanted to cut down the smart points, you could make this with 99% ground turkey instead and that will decrease your points. But we wanted some ground beef. So that's what I made mine with. So this is my eight smart point dinner. Thank you for joining me on another episode in my WW 30 minute meals. I hope you enjoyed seeing tonight's dinner. It was delicious, absolutely delicious.
