Taco rice （タコライス）

What kind of dish is Taco Rice (Ketchup ground beef rice) ?

Taco rice is a dish that originated in Okinawa, Japan, and is based on the Mexican taco.

Taco meat is ground meat seasoned with salsa, ketchup, and spices, and is topped on rice with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.

(Sometimes chili con carne is used instead of taco meat. I distinguish between taco meat and chili con carne by whether or not it contains beans.)

There are many taco seasoning blends available.

Standard spices are garlic, paprika powder, cumin, oregano, and chili powder. However, there’s no problem with using your favorite ingredients, such as curry powder or Cajun spice.

There are no strict rules regarding the ingredients used for seasoning, such as canned tomatoes, tomato juice, ketchup, or Worcestershire sauce.

This article introduces a standard recipe that can be easily made with a few ingredients.

My recommended toppings are tortilla chips, Sriracha sauce, avocado, and cilantro. Feel free to choose your toppings based on your taste and mood.
