• Add diced onion and red bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
• Add diced tomatoes (with juice) and beans. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
