Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, no salt added
- 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken or beef broth
- 0.5 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 lime lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the taco seasoning to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for 1 minute to enhance the flavors.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), black beans, frozen corn, and chicken or beef broth to the skillet. Mix everything well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces slightly and the flavors meld together.
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the skillet. Cover with a lid and let it sit for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot. Optionally, include lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
