Tex-Mex Beef and Beans Skillet

1In a large skillet, cook the ground beef (1 lb) over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into crumbles.

2Add the cumin (1 teaspoon), chili powder (1 teaspoon), garlic powder (½ teaspoon), onion powder (½ teaspoon), salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the beef in the spices.

3Add the pinto beans (1 can) and salsa (1 cup) to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients.

4Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

5Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
