Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Mix well and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve the Dish

    Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the mixture over a bed of tortilla chips, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
