Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes (undrained), corn kernels, rinsed and drained black beans, and uncooked white rice. Add the water.

  4. 4

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally.

    15 min

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and most of the chopped cilantro.

  6. 6

    Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
