6 servings
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 12 oz), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes

For serving
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions

Heat the avocado oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and both bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 7–8 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
