  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil or butter
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Corn Kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1 can Black Beans drained

  • 1 Avocado sliced

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced Yukon gold potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the ground beef over medium-high heat. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks for about 5-6 minutes until nicely browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. With the beef still in the skillet, add one diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning and 0.5 cup of beef broth. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the sautéed potatoes to the skillet and gently fold in 1 cup of corn kernels and 1 can of drained black beans. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon the beef-and-potato mixture into serving bowls.
  7. Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, slices of avocado, and other toppings if desired.
  8. Serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side.
