Taco Rice

• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 lettuce leaves, thinly sliced
• 1 radicchio leaf, thinly sliced
• 1 Roma tomato, seeded and cubed
• 1/4 cup grated mild cheese (we used Asiago)
• 1 green onion, sliced
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Shichimi Togarashi seasoning (optional) or chili flakes, to serve

1. Rinse rice thoroughly under cold water. Add to a small pot with the 11/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cover with lid. Cook until rice is tender and all water is absorbed. Meanwhile, prepare toppings and set aside.
2. Add ground beef to a skillet on medium heat along with taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir frequently until browned and the beef is cooked through. Add rice to a bowl, and add ground beef, vegetable toppings, and cheese. Top with Togarashi (optional) or chili flakes. Serve immediately.
