How to Make Kpd's Awesome Retro Burritos Tacos Or Chimichangas

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), and salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat, or a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity.
  7. Serve the ground beef mixture in your favorite way: burritos, tacos, chimichangas, or a fiesta bowl! Top with your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
