Japanese Taco Rice Recipe!

_{Hello everyone, this is @ramengirl. A few days ago I made my favorite Mexican tacos at home, and of course, I made it too much so I had to put the leftover taco meat in the fridge. I was thinking how should I eat this taco meat left over besides making tacos again. And I got this great idea of Taco Rice! Taco Rice is a mixture of western style and Japanese style cuisine that influenced by the US military stationed in Okinawa. I had amazing Taco Rice when I visited Okinawa about two years ago! It tasted very healthy and fresh and yummy! So let's get started!}

Taco Rice

_{Prep Time: 15 Mintues
Cooking time: 20 Mintues}

Ingredients:

_{• Ground Beef 200g
• ½ of onions
• 2 piece of lettuce
• ½ of tomatoes
• 3-4 piece of black olives
• ½ tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 bowl of rice
• Mozzarella cheese
• Taco seasoning
• Eggs}

Course:

<sub>1. Slice onions and lettuce into small piece. Cut tomatoes into small squares shape, and then put in a bowl and mix with a ​½ teaspoon of salt, and black pepper, and ½ tablespoon of lemon juice.
2. Put a​ little bit of oil in the pan, add the onion and beef and fry them. Add a taco seasoning that you can get from supermarket easily, and stir it together.
3. Put the rice in the bowl and taco meat, lettuce, tomato, black olive and mozzarella cheese, eggs in this order. (mozzarella cheese will melt​ naturally when you mix with rice).





I love to have tacos with the crispy taco shells, especially raining day! Do you guys want to eat Mexican food when it's raining, or it's only me? Hehe :) This taco rice tastes very similar to original tacos but it tastes more healthy and fresh! If you are vegetarian, try taco rice without the meat! It will be still delicious! Hope you guys enjoyed it. Thanks!:D</sub>
