Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning 1 ounce; or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice uncooked
  • 1 can black beans 15 ounce; drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 cup corn kernels frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • Optional toppings chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, diced Hass avocado, sour cream, tortilla chips

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  2. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften (approximately 3-5 minutes).
  3. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat and vegetables, then stir to combine.
  4. Add rice, black beans, salsa, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid (approximately 20 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove the lid and stir in the frozen corn. Top the skillet evenly with shredded cheese. Cover again and let it sit off the heat for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese melts.
  7. Serve the taco skillet hot, garnished with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I often swap in ground turkey for the beef if I'm looking for a lighter meal, or sometimes I'll use a mix of black beans and pinto beans for
