• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
