Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in carrots, broccoli, taco seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften slightly.

Add uncooked rice and water to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Stir in the fresh spinach and cover for another 2-3 minutes, allowing it to wilt. Remove from heat.

While the rice finishes, if using, fry the eggs to your liking. Serve the beef and rice skillet immediately, topped with a fried egg and a sprinkle of parsley flakes.

Final Notes

Serve this hearty and flavorful skillet dish hot for a complete and satisfying meal. It's a versatile dish that's perfect for a busy weeknight or meal prepping.
