Step 1

Warm the olive oil in a large skillet on a medium high heat. Once the oil is warm add the ground meat and begin breaking up the meat into smaller pieces to cook faster.

Step 2

Once the meat is no longer pink add the onions, carrots, peppers, chili, and garlic. Stir the vegetables into the meat mixture well.

Step 3

Add the taco seasonings: chilli powder, garlic power, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cumin and salt. Stir well to mix the spices and vegetables together. Stir in the crushed tomatoes.

Step 4

Cover the pan with a fitted lid and reduce the heat down to a medium-low heat. Let the meat and veggies cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook longer if you prefer softer veggies and for a shorter amount of time if you like your vegetables with more bite.

Step 5

Uncover the pan and sprinkle shredded or grated cheese over the top of the meat. Cove the pan one more with the lid for another 2-3 minutes to let the cheese melt.

Step 6

Sprinkle green onions and cilantro over the top of the melted cheese and serve.
