- 1½ cups corn
- 1½ tbsp taco seasoning
- salt and pepper
- oregano
- 1 cups rice
Instructions

- With about 20 minutes left of cooking, prepare the rice using the instructions on the package.

Notes
- The nutrtional info on this recipe isn't 100% accurate. Because we'll get two meals out of the meat, the recipe is divided by 8. That's not the case for the rice. Account for more carbs than mentioned.
CARB CONSCIOUS
- Skip the rice and add more veggies. Use diced peppers and halved cherry tomatoes with a mix of spinach and baby lettuces.
