Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground beef 80/20 or lean
  • 2 cups Diced potatoes Russet or Yukon Gold, peeled and cubed small
  • 1 cup Diced red bell peppers Seeds and stem removed
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese Freshly grated melts best
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil Extra virgin

  • 0.5 cup Beef broth Low sodium preferred

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook until browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove potatoes and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the ground beef and diced red bell peppers. Cook until the beef is browned and the peppers are softened, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and beef broth. Simmer for 3 minutes until the liquid reduces.
  • Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the beef mixture.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
