Mexican Beef recipe

A Mexican-inspired rice and bean dish is jazzed up with tender sauteed beef. Chunks of beef are simmered with stir-fried vegetables before being served over a bed of white rice, black beans, and mozzarella cheese. Top with hot sauce and guacamole for a gourmet yet easy meal and serve with tortilla chips.

• 1 Tbsp chili sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 c. mozzarella, grated
• 1 (8 oz) can black beans, drained and heated.
• 4 c. cooked white rice
