1 can diced green chilies*
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (low-sodium preferably)

Brown ground beef and drain off excess fat. Add onions and cook until onions are tender.
Meanwhile in a separate bowl, combine cheese from pasta mix, can of soup, can of tomatoes, can of green chilies, black beans, taco seasoning and 1 cup water. Stir well to combine.

Towards the end of the cooking time add the corn and heat through.
(This is not a picture of the actual recipe but it looks very similar, just picture it with black beans and corn.)
* Or just use a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes instead.
