Instructions:

1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat some olive oil and sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened.
2. Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef (or chicken) to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
3. Add the Seasonings: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let the spices coat the meat and veggies.
4. Combine with Rice: Add in the cooked rice and diced tomatoes, mixing well. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it on top and let it melt. It adds that extra creamy touch!
6. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. You can pair it with a side salad or bread.
