Ingredients

Taco Skillet:

2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons avocado oil
Salt and pepper to season
½ medium-sized red onion, diced (or 2 teaspoons onion powder)
3 cloves garlic, minced (or ⅓ teaspoon garlic powder)
3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I used Dalkin&Co)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons tomato paste
(1) 15-20 ounce jar of red salsa
(1) 15-ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 ½ cups corn (fresh or frozen)
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime

Toppings:

Shaved iceberg lettuce
Tortilla chips
Chopped fresh cilantro
Sliced avocado
Taco sauce (I use Siete Creamy Jalapeño Botana sauce, but go ahead and use your favorite)

Instructions

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up into small pieces.
Add the onion, garlic, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, salsa, black beans, and corn, stirring to combine, and cook for 5 to 7 more minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro and the juice of 1 lime.
Serve with shaved iceberg lettuce, crushed tortilla chips, more cilantro, avocado slices, and your favorite taco sauce.
ENJOY!

Notes

This recipe can be easily customized. Swap ground turkey for ground beef, use pinto beans instead of black beans, and add pickled red onions and thinly sliced radishes on top. You really can’t go wrong here!
