Instructions

In a large skillet, add the olive oil, diced onion, and both diced bell peppers and saute over medium heat for 5-8 minutes or they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and salt and cook for an additional minute.
Then add the ground beef and brown until not longer pink, breaking it up and crumbling.
Add the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, corn, rice and beef broth and stir until combined.
Bring to a small boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover.
Cook for 20 minutes, stirring at 10 minutes.
Once rice is cooked, add the drained and rinsed beans and stir.
Top with the shredded cheese and place the lid back on for about 3 minutes until cheese melts.
Top with any and all of your favorite toppings like guacamole or diced avocado, lettuce, sour cream, cilantro, sliced green onion, sliced black olives, tortilla chips

Notes

This dish also works with ground chicken and ground turkey. If using chicken or turkey, I suggest switching to chicken broth.
Add some spice by using jarred jalapeños as a topping or adding cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the ground beef mixture.
Brown rice can be used instead of white rice, but keep in mind it will take longer to cook and you'll need a little extra broth.
Substitute fresh garlic with a tablespoon of garlic powder.
Drain the browned ground beef into a colander over a bowl in the sink if you need to remove excess grease
