Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I heat a drizzle of olive oil in my skillet over medium heat. I toss in the diced onion and garlic until they’re fragrant and golden, which always fills my kitchen with a welcoming aroma. Once the onion becomes translucent, I add the ground beef (or turkey), breaking it apart with my spoon and cooking until it’s browned. After that, I stir in the bell pepper, taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Just that mix alone looks and smells like a fiesta! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
