Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain excess fat, if necessary, and stir in taco seasoning, salsa, corn, and black beans.
  4. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add cooked rice and mix well until heated through.
  6. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and cover until melted.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For a healthier twist, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. Customize by adding bell peppers or jalapeños for heat.
