Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef while breaking into small bits and cook until browned.
- Add the onion, green pepper, garlic, potato, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and chili powder and stir into the beef. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onion begins to soften and the spices are aromatic.
- Stir in the water and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook about 10 minutes stirring often. Remove the lid and turn the heat to low and cook another 10-20 minutes or until the liquid is cooked down.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. If the potatoes are not fully cooked add another 1/2 cup of water and cook down some more. Serve this with rice or as filling for tacos or gorditas.
