For a spicier kick, use hot taco seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef mixture. Feel free to customize with your favorite taco toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa after baking. To prevent the rice from drying out, ensure the casserole is well-covered with foil during the first 30 minutes of baking. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef. Consider adding a layer of black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
