Taco rice is a rice-bowl dish made with taco ingredients, such as seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, cheese, and tomato. It was originally created in the Okinawa region of Japan near the US military base there and has gradually become a popular dish throughout Japan. It is similar to a taco salad, but instead of a tortilla bowl, everything is placed on a bed of rice.
