This Rice and Beans Taco Skillet is one of my favorite easy dinners of all time. It is totally packed with flavor, made in a single pan and done in just 20 minutes!
It’s true that I love food. I mean, obviously, right? I’d be a terrible food blogger if I didn’t. But it is rare when I love something as much as I loved this simple little dinner. I don’t know if I was just extra hungry this week or what, but I just would not shut up about it. The textures, flavors and bit of zing…and it took less than 20 minutes to make. I’ll be making it again SOON…and that is a huge endorsement!
By the way, how is your summer going?! Are you enjoying it as much as we are? There’s nothing better than Minnesota in the summer. Just for fun, leave a comment telling me which state or country you are reading from.
This delicious din is all cooked up in the same skillet. So super easy!
Change up the meat if you want something a little bit slimmer, remove the peppers if you don’t like spice and cater the toppings to your liking.
Enjoy! Thanks for reading!

Augh, this looks sooo good. :0 I'm reading from Shimada, Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan, and it's 80% humidity and 100 degrees with the heat index! x_x BUT I hail from good ol' Minneapolis! I miss a lot of comfort food. And sour cream…you can buy it here, if you don't mind spending $4 for 1/2 C. @_@
