For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the diced tomatoes.
If you prefer a spicier dish, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Serve this delicious skillet as is, or with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, and guacamole for a complete Mexican-inspired meal.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef, if desired.

    I added a can of black beans for extra protein and fiber. It was a hit!

  • Gerhard Hoppe

    The potatoes got a little mushy for me. Next time, I'll make sure to really brown them well before adding them back to the skillet.

  • Helmer Bosco

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! My family loves it, and it's so easy to customize with different veggies.

  • Dominic Schamberger

    I used Monterey Jack cheese instead of cheddar, and it was delicious!
