Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound potatoes yellow or white
- 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red or green bell pepper diced
- 1 jalapeno minced (remove seeds for less spice)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon EACH garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt
- Fresh black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Make potatoes: Peel and rinse potatoes and cut into small ¼’’ cubes. Heat the oil in a large heavy-duty pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes and cook the potatoes for 4-5 minutes or until they are golden and almost softened on the inside. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside.
- Cook Beef: To the same skillet, add the beef, onion, and garlic. Cook down the beef, breaking apart the meat, for 3-4 minutes or until the meat turns brown. Add the bell pepper, jalapeno, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. Continue cooking and breaking down the beef for another 3-4 minutes or until the bell pepper is softened.
- Mix: Return the potatoes to the pan, top with cilantro, and mix to combine. Cook for another minute or until the potatoes and beef are completely cooked through.
- Assemble and serve: Serve immediately over rice or on tortillas. Top with sour-cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro if desired.
