Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)

  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water

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

  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup salsa

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Lime wedges, for garnish

  • Tortilla chips, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

  • Add diced onion and garlic to the beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.

  • Stir in taco seasoning and beef broth (or water). Bring to a simmer and cook for 3–4 minutes, until thickened.

  • Return potatoes to the skillet, then add corn and black beans. Stir well and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Divide the beef and potato mixture among serving bowls.

  • Top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado, and cilantro.

  • Serve with lime wedges and optional tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Make it spicy: Add jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or spicy salsa.

  • Protein swap: Ground turkey or chicken works great for a lighter option.

  • Extra crunch: Top with crushed tortilla chips or toasted pepitas.

  • Meal prep friendly: Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add fresh toppings just before serving.

  • Veggie boost: Bell peppers or zucchini make great additions.
