This Nacho Rice Dip is AH-MAZ-ING! I seriously can not stop thinking about it! Taco meat, Rotel tomatoes, Velveeta, and yellow rice. If you like Rotel dip, then you are going to LOVE this easy queso. The day I made this for the blog we ended up eating this as our lunch. We just couldn’t stop eating it! This queso dip is perfect for parties and tailgating.

How to Make Nacho Rice Dip
This dip is super easy to make. Start with cooking a package of yellow rice. While the rice is cooking, cook some lean ground beef. Add taco seasoning and water called for on the packet. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add a can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, some Velveeta cheese, and a splash of milk. Cook on medium heat until the cheese has melted. Stir in the cooked rice and enjoy!
- You can use any rice that you enjoy. I prefer to yellow rice (saffron rice) or a packet of Knorr Mexican rice. You can also use a box of Rice-A-Roni. Any flavor will work fine.
- You can use any heat level of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles that you prefer.
