The countdown until school starts has officially begun at our house. Can you even believe how fast the summer flew by? I can’t believe that school is starting next week! It is always a bittersweet time. I love the fun that we have had this summer but I can’t wait to get back to a routine. The school days are so busy and homework seems to consume our lives during the year. This doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice on a delicious home cooked meal for the family each night. McCormick just released Organics Recipe Mixes and taco seasoning just always happens to be on hand at our house. They are made with certified organic and non-GMO ingredients. The taco seasoning is key to adding such delicious flavor to this meal.

One pot meals are THEE best. They provide a meal that is big on flavor but so easy to make! And the best part is that it only gets one skillet dirty and makes clean up a breeze. I always feel that it is so important after a busy school day to still bring the family back to the dinner table at night and reconnect over a delicious meal.

My entire family devoured this one skillet meal. The rice is full of such amazing flavor and I loved the added black beans, corn, and fire roasted tomatoes. The taco seasoning was so easy to use and did the job perfectly of adding big flavor to the dish. It doubled as seasoning for the chicken and the rice. It gave the chicken a pan seared edge packed with flavor and the inside was tender and juicy. Just when you think this easy one skillet meal can’t get any better you top with cheese. The cheese gets nice and melted and is the perfect finishing touch to this delicious meal. I topped it with some olives, fresh cilantro, and avocado. It was incredible. I know that your family is going to love this meal just as much as we did! It is the perfect meal for a busy school night and it is sure to be a huge hit at the dinner table.
