  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 10 oz can of Rotel not drained

Instructions

  • Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, add all seasonings, and the onion.
  • Let that cook until beef is cooked through and onions have softened. Drain any grease from the skillet.
  • Add the minced garlic, Rotel, tomato sauce, black beans, corn, broth, and uncooked rice to the skillet.
  • Stir well, cover with a lid, and cook on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked (I stirred it once about half way through).
  • Stir in some of the shredded cheese. Top with the rest of the shredded colby Jack cheese and let it melt or pop in the oven on broil.
  • Serve and top with sour cream, taco sauce, cilantro, and fresh pico & tortilla chips. Enjoy!
