Taco Skillet
This taco skillet is a flavorful, one-pan dinner packed with seasoned ground beef, tender rice, and simple veggies—coming together quickly for a no-fuss meal the whole family will love. As a ranch wife cooking for busy nights, I rely on recipes like this that are tested to be dependable, filling, and made with everyday ingredients you likely already have on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef (lean, 90/10)
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning (or one packet of taco seasoning)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes
- 15.25 oz. can of corn
- 15 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- tortilla chips
Toppings
- shredded lettuce
- diced tomatoes
- avocados
- black olives
- jalapeños
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and seasonings. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Stir in the rice and beef broth.
- Bring to a light simmer, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. (Once it’s covered, avoid stirring so the rice cooks evenly and stays fluffy.)
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the lid and stir in the beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Let cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top, then cover and let sit for about 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and serve with your favorite toppings and tortilla chips.
- Enjoy!
