Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
– 1 cup salsa
– 2 cups tortilla chips, crushed
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Equipment Needed
– Large skillet
– 9×13 inch baking dish
– Mixing bowl
– Wooden spoon or spatula
– Oven mitts
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until it’s fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Once it’s browned, drain any excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning along with a splash of water—this helps to amplify those robust flavor profiles. Let it simmer for a few minutes while those spices meld together beautifully. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
