Taco rice (or tako raisu) is a Japanese take on the taco that is pretty much just a taco on a bed of rice. The main ingredients are the rice and the taco seasoned ground beef and from there you can add whatever you would normally add to a taco. The warm rice works surprisingly well in a taco soaking up the flavours of the seasoned meat. Very often when I make tacos I make extras meat so that I can make taco salads with the leftovers.
