Looking for a delightfully flavorful yet effortless meal? Look no further than our zesty Southwest Fusion Skillet. This dish takes classic ingredients and gives them a fresh twist that’s bound to surprise your taste buds.
To whip up this culinary creation, you’ll blend the savory beef, aromatic spices, and fresh veggies in a deep skillet, then give them a quick sauté in olive oil.
Following this, introduce a splash of water, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and a can of diced tomatoes into the mix. Add a generous helping of white rice and let it all simmer for 20 minutes.
If you’re inclined toward a drier consistency, extend the cooking time to your liking, but I personally savor the slightly moist version. The choice is yours to make.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of diced onions
- 1 cup of diced red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon of finely minced garlic
- 1 pound of ground beef

Preparation:
In a deep skillet, sauté onions, red bell pepper, garlic, ground beef, cumin, paprika, sea salt, and white pepper with a drizzle of olive oil. Ensure the beef is well browned and break it apart as it cooks.
