- 1 bell pepper, diced Sweet bell pepper preferred; poblano or jalapeño can be used for an extra kick.

- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes).

- Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
