Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat extra-virgin olive oil. Add onion and cook 2 minutes, then add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Drain fat.
Move beef to one side of skillet and add white rice to other side. Sauté 2 minutes, then add fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, corn, green chilis, cumin, and chili powder. Season with salt. Stir to combine, then pour over chicken broth.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 20 minutes.
Top with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and Monterey jack and cover to let melt, 2 to 3 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro and serve.
