Description
A quick and satisfying one-skillet dish featuring ground meat, black beans, corn, and topped with cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until it turns brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add vegetables: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in other ingredients: Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Combine everything well.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Add cheese: Uncover and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover again until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot with sour cream on the side.
Notes
Great for customizing with various types of meat or making it vegetarian. Pair with rice, salad, or tortilla chips.
