  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 pound potatoes, yellow or white, peeled and diced
  • 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)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Meat

  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef

Spices and Condiments

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and quickly when sautéed.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Cook potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to become tender and slightly golden.
  4. Brown the ground beef: Push the vegetables and potatoes to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Season the mixture: Mix the potatoes, vegetables, and beef together. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and fresh black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and ensure potatoes are fully cooked.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, stir in the chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For less spice, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before mincing.
  • You can substitute canola oil with olive oil or vegetable oil depending on preference.
  • If you prefer a softer potato texture, cover the skillet with a lid while cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
