Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and ground beef, breaking the meat apart with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
Stir in cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cooked rice, and corn (if using). Stir to combine and cook for 5–6 minutes until everything is heated through.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, garnish with cilantro, sour cream, and jalapeños if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Can substitute ground turkey for ground beef for a leaner option.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.

For a milder version, opt for a mild diced tomato with green chilies and skip the jalapeños.

Feel free to add extra vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for more flavor and color.

This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but always double-check labels on canned goods and spices.
