# Ingredients:
01 -
1 lb of ground beef, lean
02 -
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into pieces
03 -
1 red bell pepper, cut into pieces
04 -
1 small red onion, chopped up
05 -
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
06 -
2 tablespoons of olive oil
07 -
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
08 -
1 teaspoon of cumin powder
09 -
½ teaspoon of dried coriander

Add salt based on your liking

½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning or oregano

Juice from half a lemon
14 -
Chopped parsley (optional for topping)
15 -
Sprinkle sesame seeds if you’d like (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm a big pan over medium to high heat. Toss in the beef and cook it while stirring and breaking it into bits. If there's extra grease, drain it off.
02 -
Pour the olive oil into the same pan and toss in the onion and garlic. Let them cook for a minute or two until they smell great. Add the yellow and red peppers, stirring and cooking until they soften, but still have some crunch (about 3-4 minutes).
03 -
Put the beef back into the pan. Sprinkle on paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, and season it with salt and pepper. Give it all a good stir until combined and coated evenly.
04 -
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything for a nice pop. If you’d like, finish off with parsley and sesame seeds.
05 -
Serve warm with quinoa, pita, or rice on the side. You could also stuff it into bowls of greens, use as a filling in wraps, or load it into bell peppers.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep it carb-free by skipping bread or rice, or pile it on salad greens.

Feel free to tweak it! Toss in your favorite veggies or change the spice levels however you like.
