Steps

1Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and spray with avocado oil spray (or olive oil).
2Add the ground beef and onions and cook for 8-10 minutes until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are soft.
3Preheat the oven to Broil and place the rack in the middle setting.
4Add the taco seasoning and salsa to the ground beef and onions and stir well to combine.
5Add the drained black beans, undrained corn, and undrained diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir, and simmer for 5-6 minutes until most of the liquid has cooked down.
