Taco Skillet

Easy one pan taco skillet with ground beef, black beans and rotel tomatoes topped with melted cheese
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 90/10 ground beef
  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 (10-ounce) cans Rotel seasoned tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

For serving (optional)

  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Minced fresh cilantro
  • Sliced avocado
  • Lime wedges
  • Thinly sliced jalapeño
  • Tortilla chips, warmed tortillas, or taco shells

Method

  1. Place the beef, onion, and garlic in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. 
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and Rotel and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more. 
  3. Turn on the broiler. Sprinkle the cheese over the skillet and broil until melted and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Serve with desired toppings and tortilla chips for dipping, or use the skillet and toppings as taco fillings.
