Mexican Ground Beef and Potato Skillet
This simple, one-skillet Mexican entree contains ground beef, potatoes, and vegetables. Serve with or on flour tortillas.
Ingreadients :
- 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
Step by Step :
- 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.
- 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.
