Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef (Halal)
  • 4 medium bell peppers (any color, chopped)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (optional for topping)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping the bell peppers, onion, and mincing the garlic. It helps to have everything ready to go!
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, around 6-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped bell peppers, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Cover and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the peppers to soften.
  5. Once the peppers have softened, add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir everything together and heat until warmed through for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the top and cover the skillet for a couple of minutes until melted. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
