Ingredients

Prep: 30 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes

1 pound
93% lean ground beef
1 large
red bell pepper, chopped
1 large
onion, chopped
6 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon
chili powder
2 teaspoons
ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 16-ounce jar
green salsa, or green enchilada sauce or taco sauce
1/4 cup
