Ingredients

Mexican Rice

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup medium grain rice
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Dip

  • 15 oz. can refried beans
  • 1 oz. packet taco seasonings
  • 15 oz. guacamole
  • 14 oz. sour cream
  • 1 cup pico de gallo or salsa
  • 1½ cups cheddar cheese
  • ½ bunch green onions
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes

Directions

  • Make the Mexican rice: Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir for 1-2 minutes. Add in the broth, tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to low and cover with a tight fitted lid. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and leave the lid on for another 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Allow the rice to cool before using it in the cups.
  • Assemble the cups: using a 5 oz. cup, layer in this order starting at the bottom: refried beans, guacamole, Mexican rice, sour cream, pico de gallo, cheese, and then toppings of choice for the final layer. 
  • Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
