For a vegetarian variation, consider adding corn or black beans. To add a smoky flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes. Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your desired level of spiciness. For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. This dish is excellent served as a side or as a base for burrito bowls.
