thumb_grnd_bf_mojo_20 Ground Beef Mojo falls into that category of... "use what you got and see what it tastes like..."

In this case everything turned out pretty good and will be worth repeating as well as tweaking for taste. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting off with the ingredients... ~1lb ground beef (not shown), fajita seasoning to taste (~1tbs), 1 can diced tomatoes (I like the petite ones), 2 cans chicken broth (only one shown), chili powder to taste (~1/2 tbs), cumin (~1/2 tbs) and 1 boil in bag thing of rice (you'll be taking it out of the bag), ~1 tbs minced garlic (not shown), ~1 tbs chopped onions (not shown).

 Throw down some ground beef for browning

 Go ahead and spread it out... makes it go faster

 Add the garlic and onion

 Don't forget to mix it up while it browns

 Don't worry about the boiling action... just cooking the water out

Here's where I added the cumin, chili powder, fajita seasoning and whatever else floats your boat

Time for the can of diced tomatoes

 And the chicken broth (amount is based upon the rice instructions... the one I used said it needed about 2 cups liquid... which I just translated to 2 cans broth)

 And the rice... out of the bag of course

 Bring to a boil

 Reduce to a simmer and put a lid on it

  After about 10 minutes (undisturbed) it looks like this

 Mix / fluff it up some and catch a whiff of those aromas

Now, how to plate the Ground Beef Mojo?

Start with some tortilla chips on the plate

Drop down a hearty helping of the mojo

Top with some cheese... classic cheddar here, but some whte mexican would be great

Stick a chip in it... you are done.

  See... doesn't that look great?

Mouthwatering and tasty... all with stuff from the pantry

 Now, just remember...

 Don't be afraid to experiment... it usually doesn't turn out that bad.
