Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef (93% lean)
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp basil (optional)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup salsa (mild or spicy)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 avocado, sliced
1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking apart with a spoon, about 3-4 minutes. Drain excess fat. Add chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, basil (if using), cumin, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
Stir in drained black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened and flavors meld.
Let the mixture cool slightly. Serve in bowls and top with corn, lettuce, salsa, cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, and lime wedges.
Notes
Substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option. Experiment with toppings like diced bell peppers, jalapeños, or lime crema. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
