A vibrant and flavorful Tex-Mex dish perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt while browning the beef.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Ensure the garlic doesn't burn by stirring frequently.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, chili powder, oregano, seasoning salt, sugar, Tabasco sauce, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the cooked white rice to the skillet and stir until evenly combined.
Use freshly cooked rice for the best texture.
Serve the beef and rice mixture over a bed of lettuce. Top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.
Arrange the toppings neatly for an appealing presentation.
