Description

A delicious and easy One-Pan Mexican Beef and Potato Skillet recipe that combines ground beef, potatoes, and spices for a hearty meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes and bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with sour cream on the side.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper when cooking the beef.
  • Substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a different flavor and added nutrients.
