Instructions
- Spray a large skillet with non stick cooking spray. Cook ground beef on medium heat until lean ground beef beef is brown and no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes. Break into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
- Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are tender. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Stir in rice, 1 and 1/2 cups of beef or vegetable broth, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and corn.
- Bring to a boil. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked, about 15-18. Add an additional 1/2 cup more of broth, if needed. Note: brown rice needs to cook longer and may need additional broth than white rice.
