- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 1 4-ounce can canned diced green chilies, drained

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and diced green chilies into the egg mixture.
Spread the cooked ground beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the beef, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
