Let stand until the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes.
Notes
Ground beef: If you use ground beef with higher fat content, you may need to drain the ground beef. Feel free to substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
Bell pepper: Or any other color of bell pepper.
Beans: Pinto beans or kidney beans also work well in this recipe.
Red enchilada sauce: Feel free to use mild, medium, or hot sauce depending on your tastes.
Taco seasoning: I like to make my own taco seasoning. Regular or reduced-sodium taco seasoning can also be used.
