Instructions

  1. Heat oil in 24 cm deep frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add beef mince, cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning mix, rice, water, salsa and corn. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once to check that rice isn’t sticking to the bottom. Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes.
