Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, using a spatula to break it up into small crumbles.
Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if needed.
Stir in the coconut aminos, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and ground cumin, mixing everything well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture simmer for about 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve hot, either on its own or as a filling for lettuce wraps, alongside a compliant salad, or with some roasted vegetables.
