Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup long-grain rice
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chilies
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot with the beef and sauté until they are soft.
Stir in the taco seasoning and rice, cooking for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and green chilies, black beans, beef broth, and frozen corn. Stir to combine everything well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
