For Aunt Carol

Ingredients
8 oz fresh pre-diced onions (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 lb ground chuck
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 (5.4-oz) package taco-flavored rice and pasta blend
1 3/4 cups water
2 cups corn tortilla chips (about 5 oz)
1 (8-oz) jar taco sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
Steps
Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place onions, ground beef, and taco seasoning in pan; cook 5–7 minutes, stirring often, or until meat is brown and no pink remains.
Stir in rice blend and water. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 7 minutes.
Remove pan from heat; fluff rice with fork. Arrange chips over rice in pan. Drizzle taco sauce over chips, then top with cheese. Cover and let stand 5 minutes or until cheese begins to melt. Serve. (Makes 6 servings.)
