Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 400°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. While the grill is heating, place a 12 inch cast iron skillet on the grill grate to preheat.

    400 ˚F / 204 ˚C

  • 2

    When the grill reaches 400°F, add the oil and the onion to the pan along with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Put the lid down and cook, stirring once or twice, until the onions are soft, about 10 minutes.

    00:10

  • 3

    Add the meat and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook, breaking it up with the back of a wood spoon, until browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning.

    00:15

  • 4

    Stir in the tomatoes, beans, rice, green chiles and 1/2 can of water from the tomato can (or about a cup of water). Stir to ensure the rice is covered in the liquid.

  • 5

    Cover the pan snugly with a tight-fitting lid or two sheets of aluminum foil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.

  • 6

    Remove the foil and sprinkle cheese over the top of the dip. Place pan back on the grill, uncovered, until the cheese is melted.

  • 7

    If using, top with a generous scoop of crema and sprinkle the green onions on top. Serve with the corn chips for dipping and enjoy!
