It is almost June and all the kids are getting out of school. Â Summer is here! Â This week I have summer main dish meals for you including this Beef and Bean Taco Skillet. Â You will be able to prepare all of them using a crock pot, stove top, or just a bowl. Â These will all help you beat the heat by not using the oven to prepare your meal. Â Here in Utah we already had a record day last week at 94 degrees. Â With the unusually dry winter this year, they say we are in for a hot summer. Â You don’t want to be adding to the heat just by preparing dinner.
Today’s dish is prepared on the stove top and was a pleaser for this family who is always up for any Mexican dish. I love that it utilizes beans along with meat. The beans extend your meat and add to the nutritional value of the dish. I also added in some cooked rice to make it even heartier. This is a great way to use up leftover rice or you can always cook some rice. You could even use Minute Rice if you want the cooked rice in a hurry.

This looks really good. I can’t eat rice so I would probably put it on top of tortilla chips or put them on the side. Thanks for the recipe.
