How to Make Beefy Tex Mex Stir Fry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 chopped poblano pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon chili powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly softened, about 4 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound ground beef (or turkey/chicken) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup crushed tortilla chips, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Divide the Tex-Mex stir-fry among 4 plates and top generously with your favorite shredded cheese (about 1/2 cup per serving).
