6 servings
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1½ lb ground beef
Chef's tipUse a plant-based ground product and cook according to package directions; add oil only if needed. - 2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 can (28 oz) fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
- 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup beef broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will taste lighter and less meaty; a mushroom-rich vegetable broth gives the closest beefy flavor. - 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
For serving
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.
- 2
Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
