Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions:

1. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook until vegetables are softened.
2. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a separate skillet for frying.
