Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and black pepper, stirring to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
Pour in the unsalted beef broth, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
