Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large bell pepper (red)
- 1 large bell pepper (green)
- 1 large bell pepper (yellow)
- 1 small onion
- 3 cloves garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
- 4 wedges lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: deseed the bell peppers and chop them into 1-inch pieces. Finely dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
If using, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top before serving.
Serve hot, with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick.
