Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Bell Pepper

    Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until soft.

  3. 3

    Brown the Beef

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Mix well and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the mixture is simmering, prepare your toppings by chopping cilantro, shredding cheese, and cutting lime into wedges.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Spoon the Yakimaniac mixture into bowls and top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a wedge of lime on the side.
