One-Pan Ground Beef Taco Skillet

Method

1. 1

   Brown the ground beef with the onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, about 6 minutes.

2. 2

   Drain off excess fat, then stir in the garlic, chili powder and cumin and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add the black beans, canned tomato and corn, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Cook uncovered 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and no longer soupy.

   💡 Let it sit at a bare simmer — a hard boil scorches the beans on the bottom.

5. 5

   Season with salt, scatter the cheddar over the top, cover and let it melt off the heat for 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve straight from the skillet with rice, tortillas or over crushed tortilla chips.
