- 1 1/2 cups white rice, uncooked
- 1 can (398 ml) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (398 ml) mixed peas and carrots, drained
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning (24 g)
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to medium and add the taco seasoning, turmeric, tomato paste, salt to taste and as much as you like pepper. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, rice, broth, peas and carrots and stir until combined.
Cover the skillet and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook covered until rice is tender (about 35-40 minutes), stirring occasionally. Add more broth if necessary.
Stir and top with the shredded cheese. Cover and cook on low until cheese is melted.
