Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 3 medium, diced russet potatoes
• 12 ounces plant-based ground beef
• 1 diced red bell pepper
• 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 5

Push the potatoes to the side and add the plant-based ground beef in the center of the skillet. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Step 6

Mix in the red bell pepper, diced tomatoes (with juice), cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour in the water and stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked.

Step 9

Uncover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let some of the liquid evaporate, if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
