Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 lb ground beef (or turkey)

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Meat: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.

    Add Garlic and Beef: Stir in the minced garlic and the ground beef (or turkey). Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

      Mix in Ingredients: Add the taco seasoning, drained black beans, diced tomatoes with their juices, corn, and beef broth to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.

        Add Tortellini: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the tortellini to the pot. Cover and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

          Finish with Cheese: Once the tortellini is cooked, turn off the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

            Garnish and Serve: Fluff everything gently with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your one-pot wonder!
