Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and beef broth. Set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes until tender.

Add ground beef. Break it up and cook for 3 minutes, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

Notes
Substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles.
For a spicier kick, use fajita seasoning or add red pepper flakes.
Store leftover meat mixture separately from buns to avoid sogginess.
Reheat gently with a splash of broth if needed.
Great for meal prep—can be frozen for up to 2 months.
