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.

Jun 25, 2025The 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.
