Instructions

  1. 01
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. 02
    Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. 03
    Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 04
    Sprinkle in the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for 2 minutes to bloom the spices.
  5. 05
    Stir in the frozen lima beans, edamame, and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes until the vegetables are just thawed.
  6. 06
    Add the diced roasted red peppers and tomato paste. Stir well to coat everything with the tomato paste.
  7. 07
    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes until most of the liquid has reduced and the hash is thickened.
  8. 08
    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
  9. 09
    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
  10. 10
    Squeeze lime wedges over the hash just before eating and serve with warm tortillas on the side.
