Meat Lovers' Fiesta Bowl

Description:

A vibrant and hearty Meat Lovers' Fiesta Bowl overflows with a rich mixture of browned ground beef and spicy chorizo. Chunks of tender bell peppers in shades of red and green mingle with dark black beans and golden corn kernels, all swimming in a thick, reddish-brown chili-spiced sauce. The melted cheddar cheese creates a creamy, cheesy topping that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant colors and textures below. The bowl is garnished with fresh cilantro, adding a pop of bright green and a hint of herbaceous freshness. Tortilla chips provide a crunchy contrast, and a dollop of sour cream offers a cool, tangy counterpoint to the spicy meat mixture. The entire dish is a visual and flavorful fiesta in a bowl.


Ingredients:

  • - 1 lb ground beef
  • - 1/2 lb chorizo sausage, casings removed
  • - 1 large onion, chopped
  • - 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • - 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • - 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • - 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • - 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • - 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • - 1 cup beef broth
  • - 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • - 1 teaspoon cumin
  • - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • - 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • - Tortilla chips, for serving
  • - Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. 1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef and chorizo over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes.
  2. 2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. 3. Add the chopped bell peppers and cook for 3-5 minutes, until slightly tender-crisp.
  4. 4. Stir in the black beans, corn, Rotel, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. 5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally.
  6. 6. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  7. 7. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
  8. 8. Serve immediately in bowls, topped with tortilla chips and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
