Makes 4 servings

Ingredients :

1 tablespoon prepared taco seasoning
10–12 ounces cooked roast beef, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions :

1. In a medium bowl, add taco seasoning and beef slices and toss to coat.
2. Warm 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add pepper slices; cook 4 minutes, until softened and lightly charred, stirring often. Add beef slices and cook to warm through, stirring.
