Despite this being a savory & flavorful dish, it’s also all cooked in one skillet so you’re not spending a bunch of time cooking & cleaning. That’s a win in my book. This is also a flexible recipe as you can add or omit ingredients you want, don’t want, or don’t have on hand. Win-win!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/4 – 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

6 gloves of garlic, minced

S & P, to taste

1 onion, chopped

1 10oz can of Rotel (not drained)

8 oz can of tomato sauce

1 1/2 cups of beef broth

1 cup of long grain rice uncooked

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 can corn, drained

1 can black beans, drained & rinsed

Optional ingredients:

Cilantro

Sour cream

Pico de gallo

Guacamole

Preparation:

In a large skillet, over medium high heat, add the ground beef, all seasonings, including the onion, and cook until meat is done.

Drain grease from skillet.

Add Rotel, tomato sauce, minced garlic, beef broth, corn, beans, & uncooked rice to the skillet. Stir well, cover with a lid, and cook on medium-low heat for 15 – 20 minutes, or until rice is done. Stir once or twice throughout cooking process.

Once cooking is complete, top with shredded cheese & pop in the oven on broil until melted.

Garnish to your liking. Serve with tortillas or tortilla chips.

Enjoy!
