INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Heat oil in a large 10” oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, then saute until they begin to soften, 5 minutes. Turn up heat to medium-high then add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, garlic and onion powders, salt, and pepper. Continue to saute until beef is cooked through and peppers are tender, 8-10 minutes, then drain beef mixture if necessary (I did not) and add back to the skillet.
  3. Add pinto beans, street corn, enchilada sauce, and Ro-Tel: stir to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer then add 1/2 of cheese and chopped tortillas; fold to combine. Simmer until tortillas are tender, 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Remove skillet from heat then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas begin to brown. Top with your favorite ingredients above.
