This is an easy one skillet meal. Without baking required, dinner will be ready quickly. The Tex Mex flavors of this main dish will have everyone asking for seconds. For a healthier version of this recipe, I would use lean ground beef or ground turkey, and would drain the meat after cooking it, and before adding the other ingredients. I would also use reduced fat cheddar cheese.
