Creating this dish is like painting a memory, with each ingredient playing its part in the story. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

This recipe is a breeze to make — even on busy weeknights. Here’s how you can recreate this in your kitchen:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. Add the bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
