Beefy Tex-Mex Family Rice Skillet is a meal I put together a few years ago that my kids request frequently. It's super simple to put together, making it the perfect weeknight dinner contender. It's not a spicy dish. My seven-year-old son, Joey always asks for seconds.

How To Serve this Tex-Mex Dinner
I've always used ground beef in this easy skillet dinner, but ground turkey could probably be substituted to make for a leaner version.
A Simple Salad or even Ceasar Salad and dinner rolls complement this simple meal and make it complete.
