Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 medium onion, diced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 green bell pepper, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp chili powder; 1 tsp ground cumin; 0.5 tsp smoked paprika; 0.5 cup canned diced tomatoes, undrained; salt and pepper to taste; 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease. 2.

Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. 4. Add diced tomatoes (with their juice) to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and liquid to reduce slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 5. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
