Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp chili powder, or Mexican seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion(s), chopped
  • 2 medium garlic clove(s), minced

Directions

  1. Toast chili powder and cumin in a medium skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add oil to skillet and heat; add onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add beef and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and beans; cook 5 minutes more or until heated through. (Note: To turn up the heat, toss in some chopped chipotle peppers with the tomato sauce.)
