This is the ultimate versatile Mexican beef recipe, perfect for piling on top of nachos, stuffing into burritos or tacos or serving over rice. You could also make this recipe completely vegetarian by swapping the minced (ground) beef for an additional two cans of black beans, kidney beans or mixed beans. If this isn’t already sounding amazing, you can also make this meal ahead of time, ready for when you need it, which in my opinion is the ultimate form of self-care when life gets busy!
