Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup water or beef broth
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (optional)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans, diced tomatoes (with liquid), corn, and water or broth. Mix well.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  6. Remove the lid. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top. Cover briefly until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of taco seasoning for your preferred spice level.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
  • Feel free to add a can of drained green chilies for extra Tex-Mex flavor.
