Stir in onion and green pepper; cook until liquid evaporates for about 2 additional minutes.

Mix 1/2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and Mexican-style corn into skillet; season beef with taco seasoning.

In a microwave-safe bowl, stir remaining diced tomatoes with chilies and refried beans; heat through in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds for 1 to 3 minutes.

6
