Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the rice, taco seasoning mix, beef broth, and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, you can top with shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice. This dish can be customized with your favorite taco toppings or vegetables.
