Mexican Style Ground Beef

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to incorporate. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
