Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Tortilla chips for serving
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the top. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Remove from heat and serve hot with tortilla chips on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
