Basically a deconstructed taco, piled high on a plate. You start with rice, add seasoned ground beef, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese sauce, and whatever else you want. Riley loads his up with everything and asks for it constantly. It's fun to make because everyone builds their own stack exactly how they like it. Less messy than tacos, just as good.
