Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 large bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 cup water
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup sour cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), black beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Add the water and stir again. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm with sour cream on the side, or pair with tortilla chips, warm tortillas, or a side of rice for a more filling meal.
