Fuel your day with Taco Rice Bowls made using Minute® Ready to Serve Organics.
I’ve been watching my diet lately, and one thing that has helped me stay on track while still enjoying some satisfying carbs is Minute Ready to Serve Organics rice. These single-serve cups offer a wholesome option and just the right portion size. I’ve used them both as a side and as the base for meals, and recently I made a quick and tasty Taco Rice Bowl that’s become a lunchtime favorite.
These cups are perfect for a quick lunch. I usually brown and season a batch of taco meat earlier in the week, then when it’s time for lunch I microwave a rice cup for one minute and assemble my bowl. I layer the warmed rice with taco meat, black beans, diced tomato, shredded Mexican-style cheese, and finish with a drizzle of light Catalina dressing. It’s fast, filling, and portable — ideal for busy days when I’m juggling kids’ activities or deep in work.
Minute Ready to Serve Organics comes in several varieties, including Organic White Rice, Organic Brown Rice, and Organic Red Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic. For these Taco Rice Bowls I used the Red Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic — the quinoa adds texture and a nutritious boost, making the bowl a better-for-you option that still feels indulgent.
Lunch can be a challenge for me. On summer days I’m running between activities with the kids, and during the school year I’m often working through the day and find it hard to step away. When I get in the zone, I don’t want to stop — which means I need something that’s quick to prepare. These rice cups make it possible to have a nutritious, homemade meal ready in minutes.
If you haven’t tried the Minute Ready to Serve Organics line yet, give it a try and enjoy these Taco Rice Bowls. They’re simple, nourishing, and adaptable — a great option for busy weekdays or packed schedules.
Enjoy!
