Mexican Beef 'N' Rice Skillet recipe

Ingredients:

➤1 lb (450g) ground beef

➤1 onion, diced

➤1 bell pepper (any color), diced

➤2 cloves garlic, minced

➤1 cup long-grain white rice

➤1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

➤1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

➤1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

➤1 cup beef or chicken broth

➤1 teaspoon chili powder

➤1 teaspoon ground cumin

➤1/2 teaspoon paprika

➤Salt and pepper to taste

➤Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, sour cream

Instructions:

1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Break it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

2. Sauté the aromatics: Add the diced onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

3. Add the rice and seasonings: Stir in the uncooked rice, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is coated with the spices and slightly toasted.

4. Combine the remaining ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), black beans, corn kernels, and beef or chicken broth to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.

5. Simmer the skillet: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

6. Serve: Once the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Mexican Beef 'N' Rice Skillet hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and sour cream.

This dish is a complete meal in itself, but you can also serve it with a side of tortilla chips or a simple green salad for a balanced and satisfying dinner. Enjoy!
