Add onions, and if you're using a fresh chili pepper, add that now too. Saut for about 3-4 minutes until tender

Next add your ground beef or turkey to the skillet along with 1 1/2 tablespoons of taco seasoning (see seasoning ingredients above, or use your own pre-made favorite) Cook just until meat is cooked through.Next add 1 1/2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
