Make

  1. Heat a large skillet with cooking oil over medium heat. Add bell peppers with a pinch of salt and saute for 2 to 3 minutes to get them started cooking. Add ground beef and saute, breaking it up as it cooks, until beef is cooked through and peppers are tender, 5 to 6 minutes more.

  2. Add spice mix to the skillet and stir to coat beef and peppers in spices (add a splash of water if the pan looks dry). Continue cooking until just warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Transfer beef and peppers to a serving platter and top with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, jalapenos, and green onions.

  4. Serve TexMex Beef Saute with salsa on the side and paleo-friendly tortilla chips for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
