Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 450 g
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice uncooked
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
  • fresh cilantro for garnish, optional

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks, and drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the rice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and toast the rice for 1 minute.
  4. Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce, stir well, and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Mix in the corn and black beans, sprinkle cheese over the top, cover, and cook for 2–3 minutes until melted.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

Toasty Rice: I always take that extra minute to toast the rice in the spices before adding the liquid because it creates a much deeper, nuttier flavor in the finished skillet.
