Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound 93% lean ground beef
2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
4 cups frozen O'Brien potatoes, thawed (see Note)
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (such as RO*TEL® Tomatoes and Green Chilies)
2 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 green onions, sliced
fresh cilantro sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions
Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add ground beef. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 8 minutes.
Sprinkle taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic granules, cayenne, salt, and pepper over beef, and stir to combine. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
Stir in potatoes and cook 2 to 3 minutes, then add RO*TEL tomatoes, with juice. Cook until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 4 to 5 minutes more.
Cook's Note:
O’Brien potatoes are sold in the freezer section of the grocery. If you prefer to make your own, you’ll need about 3 cups 1/2-inch diced potatoes, 1/2 cup mixed red and green chopped bell peppers, and 1/2 cup chopped onions. Cooking time may need to be adjusted for raw vegetables.
