Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ pound lean ground beef
-
½ pound Mexican chorizo, casing removed and meat crumbled
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
1 tablespoon chili powder
-
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground coriander
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
1 cup frozen corn
-
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 (2 pound) package hash brown potatoes
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
shredded lettuce
-
1 cup guacamole
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, chorizo, and onion until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, coriander, and black pepper. Add black beans, tomatoes, and corn; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish.
-
Combine cream cheese and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat on high until melted, about 1 minute. Stir cream cheese mixture until smooth; spread over meat mixture. Layer hash browns over cream cheese mixture and top with Cheddar cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and potatoes are lightly brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with shredded lettuce and guacamole.
Recipe Tip
For a more authentic Mexican dish, substitute queso panela for the cream cheese and queso blanco for Cheddar.
