  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat in a large pot or skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.

  4. Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, pasta, and broth to the pot.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider sautéing the garlic with a bit of oil before adding the meat. Swap meat for plant-based alternatives for a vegetarian option.
