Taco Rice Bake

 This was really good as either taco filling or nacho toppings. Enjoy!

2. Add your taco rice packets to a 9x13 pan.
3. To the rice, add your chicken broth, salsa, and water. Stir.

5. Remove the foil, pour over the container of queso and put back in the oven for 5 minutes.

Marsha's Notes:

You can eat this like a casserole, but it is also really good wrapped in tortillas or over nachos. These are the rice packets you need.
