Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, I brown the ground beef or turkey until it’s fully cooked. The smell of sizzling meat fills my kitchen, and it’s hard not to sneak a taste before adding anything else! Once the meat is browned, I drain the fat and return it to the skillet. Then, I stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning, allowing that delicious mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes. This step is essential because it helps all the flavors marry together perfectly. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
