Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until onions are translucent.

Notes

For a little extra kick, add more chili powder or diced jalapeños. You can substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Experiment with additional vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added flavor. This dish also freezes well for up to 3 months.
