Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, sprinkling it with the spices as it cooks. When the meat has cooked about halfway through, about 4 minutes, add the onions and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Drain any excess grease and add the bell peppers. Cook an additional 4-5 minutes until the peppers begin to soften. Add the beans and stir to combine.
Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the beans. Serve over rice or in taco shells.
Notes
Ground turkey also works well in this recipe. When using ground turkey, I typically increase the amount of seasonings a bit. I recommend making the recipe as written and then tasting the mixture to make sure it is seasoned well enough.
