Method
- 1
Warm the avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering.
- 2
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spatula, and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes until thoroughly browned and no longer pink.
- 3
Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4
Pour in the tomato sauce, rinsed black beans, and water. Stir well to combine, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- 5
Scatter the shredded cheddar evenly across the simmering beef and bean mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil, lower the heat, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving hot.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 4 days, reheating gently on the stovetop. For extra brightness, top individual portions with chopped fresh cilantro or diced avocado before serving.
