Another Tex-Mex delicacy! 😉 Thanks Lord Kevin! 👍

[@KumasKitchen]

Thou art welcome, Sir Newton.

[@CatalinaCNV]

I am a huge fan of all your tex-mex combos!

[@KumasKitchen]

You and me.

[@jkoadventures7401]

Yum! Another one pot meal! Thank you! 😋💞

[@KumasKitchen]

I know how you like them.

As a navy brat, I've always heard that the Taco-Rice and Chili-Rice had sprung up around the US bases in Japan as bar food for their American customers. Many claim to be the first, but I've been told Okinawa might be the title holder. Japanese versions use WAY more rice around Yokosuka where I grew up. This looks great.

[@KumasKitchen]

That could well be. I don't know.

[@captnjaygreybeard6394]

Looks tasty, cheers

[@KumasKitchen]

Went down well. Leftovers were great.

[@10gordyflynn01]

I cannot wait to make this. I’ve already got the ingredients. I always have the ingredients for Tex-Mex style food. My favourite 😊

[@KumasKitchen]

Kim will be happy.

[@ramsessilent]

I make the same thing with red kidney beans. but im going to make it tonight with the can of black i have in the cubert. thanks for the share! stay awesome!

[@KumasKitchen]

I like both beans. I like all beans.

[@jason_from_canada]

Beans and rice are always a good combo. If it's Tex-Mex you could listen to some ZZTop or Los Lobos while eating. 👍😋

[@kezbot2]

I'd go Santana, or even better, The Gypsy Kings! 🪘🎸🎶

[@KumasKitchen]

How about Mexicali Brass?

[@japanham5973]

Kevin, yep.....this will work! BTW, I may have said before but I found Kirkland brand Sharp Cheddar cheese in nice full sized blocks on Amazon... Much better than anyting I have found domestically, and more cheese for the Yen.

[@KumasKitchen]

I still haven't checked out Kirkland cheese.

[@junwu8436]

Yep, l love the pork/ bee f combo..more of pork is perfect.
Easy enough to cook ehh?

[@KumasKitchen]

Pork has more flavour.

[@clumaster]

if the wife is allergic to Cumin why the chili powder which contains cumin? do you think this would be similar to Japanese taco rice?

[@KumasKitchen]

Shhh. The little bit in the chili powder doesn't affect her.

[@KumasKitchen]

Different from J taco rice.

[@clumaster]

okay mums the word..@@KumasKitchen
