Directions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onions become translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes, until slightly softened.
Add the drained tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Reduce heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced avocado, dollops of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
Serve hot directly from the skillet. Enjoy your flavorful and low-carb Mexican feast!
