INGREDIENTS

  • 1 T olive or coconut oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced or chopped (your preference)
  • 1 onion, sliced or chopped (your preference)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped (or, if you're a garlic freak like me, 52 cloves (J/L lol) OK well, maybe 5. I seriously LOVE garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (I like pink himalayan)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons eriththritol (or sweetener of your choice
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • 1 avocado, quartered and sliced or chopped (for garnish, optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix all dry seasonings together in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
  3. Add onions, garlic and red peppers Cook about 5 minutes, until onion is transluscent and peppers are just a bit tender
  4. Remove onion, pepper and garlic mixture from pan and set aside.
  5. Add ground beef to the same skillet. Break up the meat and cook until until its cooked through. Drain off enough of the grease as you like (remember a key of the Keto diet is to consume fats, so just drain off enough so it looks palatable to you).
  6. Add pepper mixture to ground beef.
  7. Sprinkle the dry spice mixture and cook, stirring until incorporated and the spices have released their aroma.
  8. Stir in water and let simmer until most of the water is absorbed.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. (This adds the slightes tang to the meat).
  11. Divied into four portions. Sprinkle each portion with cilantro
  12. Serve warm on a plate with sliced avocado
