30-Minute, One-Pan Mexican Ground Beef

olive oil

ground beef

chili powder

cumin

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

garlic powder

salt (or more)

oz black beans (canned, rinsed, drained)

oz corn kernels (cooked, canned, drained)

oz diced mild chiles (canned)

oz cherry tomatoes (sliced)

onions

In a large, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until completely cooked through. Drain any fat and liquid.

Add all the spices listed in the recipe card (chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt) to the drained and cooked ground beef. You can also use a store-bought taco seasoning instead. Mix to combine.

Add drained and rinsed black beans, corn, diced mild green chiles (with liquid), half of the chopped green onions, and half of the sliced cherry tomatoes to the same skillet and cook over medium heat for several minutes until the tomatoes release their juices.

Taste and season with more spices and more salt, if needed.

When serving, top with the remaining sliced cherry tomatoes and the remaining chopped green onions.

Note: depending on how you want to serve this (as taco meat, with pasta, rice, etc - see suggestions below) you might want this ground beef to be moister. In this case, you can add tomato sauce, salsa, or Pico De Gallo. Or, add a small amount of crushed tomatoes. Or add more chopped fresh tomatoes and cook on medium heat until they release juices, adding a small amount of water to the mix, if necessary.
