Скачать или смотреть Quick and Easy Beef Tacos

I love making this easy beef and corn dish as its delicious and simple to prepare. Leftovers are even better- so I like making extras to store in the freezer for a quick weeknight or lunch meal. The cumin and chili powder adds a nice depth of flavour and warmth without being overly spicy. Hope you give this one a try!

Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil
1 lb of minced beef or chicken
1 cup diced onion
3 large garlic cloves grated
1 cup diced sweet peppers
1 cup sweet corn kernels
1 14.5 oz tin of diced tomatoes drained
¼ cup chopped chives/scallions
1 tsp salt (to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp paprika
2 ½ to 3 tbsp chili powder (to taste)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp ketchup (optional)
1 cup water
Squeeze of lime juice (optional)
Tortillas for serving

Directions
1. Heat oil in pan on medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes until translucent.
2. Add minced beef and break up into smaller pieces using a spoon/spatula. Cook for a few minutes until the beef starts to brown.
3. Add all the spices, salt, and tomato paste. Cook for a few more minutes and continue to break up the beef if there are still large pieces.
4. Add the peppers, corn, tomatoes and sugar and sauté.
5. Add about 1 cup water and reduce the heat to low and let simmer covered for about 10-15 minutes. At this point you can add the ketchup if using.
6. Uncover, increase heat to hight and let cook for a few more minutes until most of the water evaporates and the mixture is thicker and saucy (to your desired consistency).
7. Taste and adjust seasonings. You can add a few drops of fresh lime juice if desired. Turn off heat and add the chives.
8. Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, diced tomatoes, cilantro, onions and avocado.
