Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels, frozen, canned or roasted
  • 1 cup salsa, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 4.5-ounce can chopped green chiles, drained
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
  • 1 10-ounce can mild enchilada sauce
  • 1 16-ounce package frozen tater tots
  • ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and onion and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat and remove from heat.
  • Stir in black beans, corn, salsa, green chiles, taco seasoning and enchilada sauce.
  • Lightly coat the inside of a 4-qt slow cooker with nonstick spray.
  • Spread half of the tater tots onto the bottom of the slow cooker; top with ground beef mixture and remaining tater tots. Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours. Add cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro, if desired.
