Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tbsp chile powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 1/2 lb (675g) ground round

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chile powder and cumin, then the beef. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until it browns all over, about 5 minutes.
