Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Slice 2 bell peppers into thin strips and chop 4 green onions (white and green parts). Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add the sliced peppers to the skillet with the beef. Cook, stirring, until peppers are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in 2 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tsp salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Fold in the chopped green onions and cook for 1 minute more, until wilted.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with 4 pieces of grilled flatbread on the side.
