Southwestern Beef and Rice Skillet image

I like to serve this kicked-up skillet dish with warm flour tortillas and a side of guacamole. If you like things a little spicier, add more jalapeno and enjoy the heat! -Pat Hockett, Ocala, Florida

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.
