Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, I use 85% grass-fed
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ⅔ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅔ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ green bell pepper, chopped
- ½ red bell pepper, chopped
- ½ yellow onion, chopped
- 1 Hass avocado, diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Taco Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the ground beef, half the salt and pepper. Cook until browned, then drain and set the ground beef aside.
- Add in the olive oil, chopped bell peppers, jalapeño pepper, onions and remaining salt and pepper.
- Sauté for 2 minutes, then add in the garlic and continue sautéing for another 20 seconds, making sure not to brown it.
- Add the ground beef back in, along with the taco seasoning. Stir and allow the spices to toast in the skillet for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth, tomato paste, lime juice, tomatoes, most of the green onions and chopped cilantro and stir. Simmer on low for 10 minutes with a lid slightly offset.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese on top, then turn the heat to low and cover, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Once the cheese has melted, top with the diced avocado and remaining green onions and cilantro and serve.
