My husband loved this and immediately told me he would ask to have this again. I added Fritos on top and left the "salad" on the side. We also ate with sour cream. The leftovers were quite dry though; next time we will eat them in flour tortillas.

This was really good and really easy to make! I had leftover regular cooked rice in the fridge that I wanted to use up so I didn't use as much water as the recipe called for. I just followed the directions on the taco seasoning packet for the water and then stired the already cooked rice in last. Even my picky 4 year old ate some!

Good--better than Hamburger Helper! Didn't have salsa, so I used fresh garden tomatoes and diced onion, plus bumped up the spices. Kids didn't like the corn, next time I will substitute can of rinsed black beans. I also used regular 20 minute rice, increased the water and cooking time.
