Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, I start by browning the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet over medium heat. The simple act of cooking the meat fills my kitchen with a savory aroma that is hard to resist! Once it’s browned, I drain any excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. I let it simmer for a few minutes so all the flavors meld together beautifully. This step can be a bit messy, but it’s totally worth it! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
