Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (85/15 blend for best flavor)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)
- 1 cup cooked black beans (or pinto beans)
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- ½ cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- ½ cup beef broth (or water)
- 4 small flour tortillas, cut into strips
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional Toppings:
- Sour cream
- Chopped cilantro
- Diced avocado
- Sliced jalapeños
- Salsa or pico de gallo
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Pour in beef broth and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix in tortilla strips and stir gently to coat them in the sauce.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, cover the skillet, and let it melt for 2 minutes.
Top with cilantro, sour cream, or avocado and serve warm!
Notes
- Use Freshly Grated Cheese – It melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
- For a Spicier Dish – Add extra chili powder or jalapeños.
- Crispier Tortilla Strips – Toast them in a dry pan before adding them.
