Caldo de Arroz con Carne Molida
Instructions:
Brown the Beef:
In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and break it up with a spoon.
Season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Sauté the Veggies:
Add diced onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook another 2–3 minutes.
Add Rice and Liquid:
Pour in rinsed rice and stir well.
Add water or broth and bring to a boil.
Simmer:
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20–25 minutes, or until rice is tender and the soup is slightly thickened.
Taste and Adjust:
Add more salt if needed. For a touch of spice, toss in a diced jalapeño or serrano while sautéing.
✅ Pro Tips:
For more richness, stir in a spoonful of tomato paste with the tomatoes.
Serve with warm tortillas, lime, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Enjoy !!
