Ingredients
1 pound Ground Beef (or ground turkey)
1 whole Onion (finely chopped)
5 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
8 ounces Mushrooms (chopped)
1 whole Green Bell Pepper (chopped)
2 tablespoons Chili Powder
1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 1⁄2 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1⁄8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2⁄3 cups Chicken Broth

Directions
  1. In a small bowl mix together seasonings: chili powder, cumin, cornstarch, paprika, coriander, cayenne, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a large skillet add vegetable oil and put on medium high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion, mushrooms, and pepper and cook until softened and lightly browned around the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Add the ground meat, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and garlic. Cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to break up the meat.
  4. Add seasoning mix and mix well for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until sauce is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve as filling for tacos or burritos.
