Add in garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring. Stir in taco seasoning, rice, salsa and beef broth/stock. Bring just to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
- Allow to simmer, covered for about 20-25 minutes, until rice is cooked. If too much liquid remains, allow to simmer a few more minutes un-covered.
