# Instructions:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water as per the packet instructions. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
02 - Cook your rice according to package instructions. For extra flavor, use chicken broth or add a pinch of cumin to the water.
03 - Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Add a generous scoop of taco meat on top. Layer on your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, beans, and cheese.
04 - Sprinkle a handful of lightly crushed Doritos over the top just before serving. This adds the perfect crunchy texture to every bite.
