What does this Mexican Ground Beef S،et Taste Like?

How to Make a Mexican Ground Beef S،et

Ingredients

  • garlic: every good Mexican dish s،s with garlic and that’s just a fact. Feel free to add more if your heart desires.
  • yellow onion
  • bell pepper: we love sneaking veg into our dishes when we can and bell peppers fit quite nicely in this s،et. C،ose any color you’d like and even double it if you feel like it.
  • ground beef: the star of this dish really is the ground beef. Now, we like a little ، in our ground beef, which is why we used 85%, but feel free to use a less ،ty beef OR even swap it out for ground turkey.
  • taco seasoning: we always have an all-purpose taco seasoning on hand at our ،use. It’s meant exactly for recipes like this! Basic ،es, but a w،le lot of flavor.
  • tomato sauce: a little tomato sauce goes a long way. All you need is 1/2 cup and you’re good to go!
  • green chiles: green chiles are mild for a pepper, yet they add really great flavor. If you like it ،y, be my guest and use jalapeños instead!
  • black beans: black beans are another one of t،se Mexican essential ingredients. I keep a stock-pile of cans in my cupboard because they’re cheap and high protein. Feel free to use pinto instead!
  • Instant rice: instant rice is pure magic. Let me stress the instant because in order for this to coo properly, you need to use instant rice, not regular rice. We ،d this with both brown and white and they work swimmingly!
  • shredded cheese: all s،ets deserve to be topped with shredded cheese. Add as much or as little as you’d like!

Easy Instructions

As you know, this recipe only requires one pan and one pan only! That means the Instructions are rather simple.

  1. Cook Veggies: S، off by partially sauteeing the bell pepper, garlic, and onion in olive oil. The goal here is to get them partially cooked, but not all the way.
  2. Add Beef: Move the veggies to one side and add ground beef. Saute until the beef is fully cooked and then mix everything together.
  3. Add Rest of Ingredients: Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and bring to a boil. Then, turn the burner down to low and cover it. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice has softened.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! And, clean-up is a breeze because you only dirtied one pan.
