Tacos Meals Under 30 Minutes

Tacos Tuesdays Original ChiliHelper:

What you will need: (1) - 8 qt sauce pot, 1/2 cup of water, 1 pound of ground beef or your choice of protein, 1 jar of Tacos Tuesdays Original ChiliHelper Mild, meat chopper.

That’s it, nothing else, no more spices, mixes, no additional vegetables required, no cutting, no chopping. We took all the hard work and put it all in the jar.

Approx. cook time: 15 minutes includes cooking meat.

How do I make Chili with ChiliHelper?

I like to make it all in one pot, no point using a separate pan and having more clean up. Of course, it’s entirely your preference on how you would like to prepare your meat/protein. 

• Heat your pot, medium heat
• Add in 1/4 cup of water
• Add in 1 to 1 1/2 lb of meat or choice of protein

Put lid on pot, check on your meat periodically breaking it up to desired size. Make sure your meat is thoroughly cooked before taking next steps.

• Uncover pot and add in 1 jar of ChiliHelper. Add in remaining 1/4 cup of water to jar, put lid on and shake vigorously. Pour remaining contents of goodness into the pot.
• Stir in ChiliHelper with meat and place lit back on. As you mix ChiliHelper in you’ll start to see the ingredients appear.
• Continue cooking on Medium High (7 on electric cook top) for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning.
• ChiliHelper should come to a rolling boil for duration of cooking.

After 7-10 minutes you will have fully made, delicious chili with a wonderful aroma filling your house. The above recipe will yield four (4) 8 oz bowls of Chili. That is assuming you use nothing else, and only eat a bowl of ChiliHelper Chili. If you place you ChiliHelper Chili over rice, you will extend the servings.

ChiliHelper, when kept refrigerated and in a sealed container will typically last 3-5 days.

Tacos Tuesdays Cilantro Lime Rice: (optional add Chili Seasoning)

What you will need: (1) - 8 qt sauce pot or small/medium size rice pot, 1 cup of rice (cooks choice), 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 Tbs of dried Cilantro, 2 Tbs Lime Juice, 2 Tbs Olive Oil.

Optional: You can add 1 Tbs of Tacos Tuesdays Chili Seasoning to spice up your rice, Tacos Tuesdays style. Mix it in prior to boiling rice.

I like to make this Cilantro Lime Rice, using Basmati rice due to the flavor and fragrance, but you can use any rice of your choosing. You may have to adjust down the amount of water to 1 cup, if you are using standard white rice. Aside from that the cooking instructions would be the same.

Rinse rice prior to cooking to remove starch and reduce sickness, unless you prefer it, rinsing is NOT necessary to do.

Approx. cook time: 25 min.

• Heat up rice pot on medium heat
• Add 2 Tbs of Olive Oil
• Add 1 cup of rice
• Stir rice around in oil, coating it. Make sure rice does not burn
• Add in 1 Tbs of Cilantro
• Add 2 Tbs of Lime Juice
• Add in water 

Stir all ingredients together, turn heat to high and bring to a boil. I like to cover the rice during this phase to help it boil quicker. You can keep it uncovered, once water begins to boil cover pot (if not already) approx. 5 minutes

• Once water is boiling turn heat down to low and leave covered for 15 minutes. 
• After 15 minutes turn off heat, remove pot from burner and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing and serving.
