Can I Add Meat to This Burrito Skillet?

If you want to make this burrito skillet with music you can. You can use shredded chicken, steak, ground beef, pork, chicken or turkey. IF you still want it to be a vegetarian meal, add meatless crumbles that are usually found in the freezer section at the grocery store.

What is the Best Rice This Recipe?

I like to use long grain rice when I am making this burrito skillet, but you can use brown rice, short grain, yellow or even jasmine rice. It will taste great with any of these varieties.

Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil
• Red bell pepper
• White onion
• Garlic
• Long-grain white rice
• Chili powder
• Yellow corn
• Reduced-sodium black beans
• Diced tomatoes with green chilies
• Reduced-sodium vegetable broth
• Plum tomatoes
• Reduced-fat, shredded Mexican cheese

How to Make a Burrito Skillet

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Over medium heat, using a large iron skillet, heat oil. Add in peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for 4 minutes until the onions are transparent while stirring occasionally.

Stir in the rice and chili powder. Cook for about a minute then add the corn, canned tomatoes, beans, and broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.

Carefully cover with foil and put the dish in the over. Bake for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Take the foil off and sprinkle with Mexican cheese. Bake uncovered for another 5 minutes until the cheese melted. Top with tomatoes and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
