Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup bell peppers
- 0.75 cup yellow onion
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup water
- 14 oz diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 0.25 cup sour cream
Brown the Meat and Vegetables
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced bell peppers, and diced onion. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking the meat apart as it browns, until no pink remains and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat.
Season and Simmer
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat mixture and pour in the water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil, then let it cook until the liquid is absorbed and the seasoning coats everything evenly.
Add Tomatoes and Melt Cheese
Stir in the drained diced tomatoes with green chiles and cook until any remaining liquid evaporates. Scatter the cheddar cheese over the top, cover with a lid, and let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Serve with Toppings
Scoop portions onto plates and top with guacamole and sour cream, or any other low-carb toppings you enjoy.
