Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 4 tbsp Keto Taco Seasoning
- 1 14- ounce can Rotel tomatoes with chilis
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth add more if you like it saucier
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 green pepper diced

Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Drain off fat/liquid.

For even more kick, add another tsp of chipotle powder.
