1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
