Description

This simple, one-skillet Mexican entree contains ground beef, potatoes, and vegetables. Serve with or on flour tortillas.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 5 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • ¾ cup prepared salsa
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
  1. 1. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add potatoes and cook until brown and crispy, stirring only as needed to prevent sticking, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove potatoes from the skillet and keep warm.
  2. 2. Place beef, carrots, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, oregano, paprika, and black pepper into the same skillet. Cook until beef is browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in corn, tomatoes, and salsa. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in cooked potatoes. Top with Cheddar cheese, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute.
