How to make Deconstructed Beef & Green Bean Enchilada Skillet
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until thoroughly browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Pour in the 14.5 oz can of undrained diced tomatoes, the 14.5 oz can of drained green beans (or 1.5 cups frozen green beans), and the 10 oz can of red enchilada sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the green beans to fully heat through and tenderize.
- Stir in 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and become gooey.
- Garnish with 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve hot directly from the skillet, optionally with warmed corn tortilla strips for scooping.
