Instructions
1. Brown the Protein
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
2. Dump and Mix
- Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), corn, black beans, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine.
3. Simmer
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld.
4. Serve and Enjoy
- Spoon the mixture over cooked rice or pasta, if desired.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese and let it melt.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, green onions, or avocado slices.
Tips for Success
- Make It Your Own: Swap ground beef for chicken or go meatless with extra beans or vegetables.
- Spice It Up: Add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce for extra heat.
- Bulk It Up: Stir in cooked pasta, rice, or quinoa for a heartier dish.
- Slow Cooker Option: Combine all ingredients (except the cheese) in a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Add cheese before serving.
