Here are some popular swaps for ingredients depending on what’s in your pantry for the month:
Black Beans: If you don’t have black beans, you can swap in Kidney, Cannellini or Garbanzo beans. Whichever bean you pick, just rinse them off well before adding them to the skillet.
Rotel Diced Tomatoes: Easily swap in canned tomatoes, just dice them up before adding them to the skillet. Of course, diced tomatoes would also be great. You can just add in some extra seasoning to give the tomatoes the same flavor profile as the rotel tomatoes.
Instant Brown Rice: Brown rice is a complex carbohydrate that is popular for some of it’s health benefits, but instant white rice can also be substituted.
Taco Seasoning Mix: If you don’t have a packet handy, but you have other spices, try this alternative to pre-made taco seasoning. https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/homemade-taco-seasoning-recipe-taco-seasoning-mix/ This skillet meal is easy to prepare and get to the table quickly.
