Description
A hearty and delicious taco skillet packed with flavor!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup finely diced yellow onion (1 small onion)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
- 1 batch taco seasoning (or 1 packet)
- 1 pound lean ground beef (or turkey (93/7))
- 1 (14-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 (4-ounce) can mild diced green chiles (drained, optional)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1–1/2 cups freshly shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (optional)
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro (optional)
- Chips (for serving)
- Toppings as desired
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–5 minutes, until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for 20–30 seconds.
- Push onions to the sides of the skillet. Add ground meat to the center. Let sear then break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for 5–8 minutes until no longer pink, but not all the way cooked through. Drain excess liquid if needed.
- Stir in taco seasoning. Cook until the meat is fully browned. Add the undrained fire-roasted tomatoes and scrape the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Add frozen corn, black beans, and drained green chiles. Stir to warm through.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the shredded cheese a handful at a time, stirring between each addition until melted and fully incorporated.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro if using. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately with chips or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Note 1: Use a packet of taco seasoning if preferred.
- Note 2: Chips are great for serving.
- Note 3: Customize toppings as desired, such as sour cream or avocado.
