Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon.
Step 2
Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, and jalapeno to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 3
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4
Add the green olives, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the mixture looks dry, you can add a little more beef broth.

Taste and adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
