Equipment
- 12" heavy skillet
Ingredients
Taco Skillet
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning or more to taste
- 14 ounces black beans drained & rinsed
- 16 ounces salsa use your favorite
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
Toppings
- ¼ cup sour cream for serving
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Bring a heavy bottomed skillet to medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook for 2 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Remove the meat and set a side.
- Put the skillet back on to medium heat, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes until translucent, stirring often.
- Add the ground beef back in the skillet along with the taco seasoning. Mix to combine.
- Add the drained and rinsed beans, salsa and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Mix to combine.
- Top the skillet with the remaining ½ cup of cheese, and transfer it to the oven. Broil for a few minutes so the cheese gets nice and bubbly and browns (watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn).
- Serve immediately with sour cream, chopped cilantro and tortilla chips or any additional toppings you like. Enjoy!
