Ingredients

  1. 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 1 large onion, chopped
  3. 1 lb. ground beef
  4. 1 c. white rice
  5. 1 (15-oz.) can fire-roasted tomatoes
  6. 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  7. 1 1/2 c. corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  8. 1 (4-oz.) can green chiles
  9. 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  10. 1 tbsp. chili powder
  11. kosher salt
  12. 2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  13. 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar and Monterey jack
  14. Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook 2 minutes, then add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 6 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it browns. Drain fat.
  2. Move beef to one side of skillet and add white rice to other side. Cook 2 minutes, then add fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, corn, green chilis, cumin and chili powder. Season with salt and stir to combine, then pour over chicken broth.
  3. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 20 minutes. (If at this point the water is absorbed before rice is cooked, add 2 more tablespoons water, recover, and simmer until rice is cooked through.)
  4. Top with cheddar and Monterey Jack and cover to let melt, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
