1 jalapeño, diced
1 pound ground beef
½ cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
Optional: Cooked rice, for serving
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
