In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté onion and bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, and corn; cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Combine cooked tortellini with the beef mixture and toss gently to combine.

Serve topped with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

Add sliced jalapeño for extra heat if desired.
