Cooking Steps
• In a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil.
• Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don’t peek!
• While the rice is cooking, roughly chop capsicum.
• Finely shred baby cos lettuce.
• In a medium bowl, combine lettuce and capsicum with a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the rice has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat.
• Cook beef mince, diced bacon (no need for oil!) and Tex-mex spice blend, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-6 minutes.
• Stir in the water (for the sauce) and simmer, until slightly reduced, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• Divide rice and Tex-Mex beef and bacon between bowls.
• Top with capsicum salad, Cheddar cheese and a dollop of light sour cream to serve. Enjoy!
ELEVATE ME: If you’ve added extra ingredients to your recipe, roughly chop pickled jalapeños and cut lime into wedges. Top bowl with jalapeños and lime wedges. Tear over coriander to serve.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: Many found the dish quite mild, with the Tex-Mex spice blend not delivering enough punch on its own. Doubling the spice blend or adding extra Mexican seasoning helped boost the flavour noticeably.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a straightforward, quick meal to put together with minimal effort.
- Suggestions: Several customers added diced tomato, avocado, corn, red onion, or salsa to round out the bowl and add more depth. Stirring tomato puree into the beef mince was one specific tip that made a real difference.
- Portions: Some felt the rice-to-beef ratio was off, with quite a bit of rice relative to the amount of mince provided.
