Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- Tortilla chips for serving
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, letting the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- While the mixture simmers, prepare the cooked rice or quinoa according to package instructions, if not already cooked.
- Once the beef mixture is heated through, stir in the cooked rice or quinoa, combining well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, covering the mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve the beef and rice mixture hot, topped with fresh cilantro and accompanied by tortilla chips for added crunch.
- Enjoy your 30 minute family dinner with your loved ones!
