6 servings
- 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/8 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 medium lime, cut into wedges (optional)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains at the center, about 7–8 minutes. Tilt the pot and spoon off any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind.

Add the diced red bell pepper and the green scallion tops to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is softened and the scallions are fragrant, about 4–5 minutes.
