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

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and potatoes are lightly brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with shredded lettuce and guacamole.

Cook’s Note:

For a more authentic Mexican dish, substitute queso panela for the cream cheese and queso blanco for Cheddar.
