Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by dicing your potatoes into small cubes and chopping the onion. Mince the garlic cloves to release their aromatic essence.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it apart and cooking until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if needed for a healthier option.
- Toss in the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully add the diced potatoes to the skillet, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, followed by chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.
- Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once everything is cooked through, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
Notes
Substitutions: Swap ground beef for halal ground turkey or chicken for a lighter twist. Those on a vegetarian journey can replace the meat entirely with black beans or lentils for a delicious plant-based option! Timing: Ensure your potatoes are cut into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking. Avoid overcooking the potatoes to maintain their tender texture.
