Tex-Mex Dirty Rice is a staple on my monthly dinner menu. Since it’s a one skillet meal, it’s easy to make and easy to clean up. Since my children love this easy dish, I always make a double batch so we can eat some tonight and later on in the month.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 53 minutes
Total Time: 57 minutes

2 lbs  ground turkey or ground beef
3 cups rice (I use Uncle Ben’s Converted)

1 diced bell pepper
2 cups salsa
6 cups water
3 tbs chicken bullion
1  15oz can black beans

2. Add rice, salsa, water, bullion and beans, stir together and bring to a boil.
