• 1 lb Ground Beef (80% lean)
• 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for sautéing)
• 1 tsp Salt (fine sea salt)
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 Tbsp Mexican Seasoning (store‑bought taco seasoning blend)
• 2 cups White Rice (short‑grain, sticky variety)

4. Cook Sticky Rice

   While the beef cooks, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer rice and water to a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
