1
In a large pot, brown the beef with onion and garlic.
2
Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are translucent.
3
Drain grease.
4
Add water (or your choice of liquid), rice, seasonings (see note below), tomato sauce, tomatoes, tomato paste and beans.
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 60-70 minutes (less if using white rice).
6
Stir occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
7
The mixture will seem very watery at first, but after simmering, it will thicken to perfection as the rice absorbs the liquid and all the ingredients meld together.
8
Serve warm with tortillas chips for dipping and other taco garnishes of your choice, as well as Gringo Queso Dip.
9
Yum!

This dish freezes well.

Note: Another option would be to skip the seasonings and do a taco seasoning packet instead.
