Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (grass-fed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet.
Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until fully browned and no pink remains, about 5-6 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the mixed spices to the skillet with the beef, stirring well to coat the meat evenly.
Pour in the water, stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors together.
Taste the beef and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Serve hot as a filling for lettuce wraps, with a side of roasted vegetables, or over a bed of cauliflower rice to keep it Whole30 compliant.
