Instructions

Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion and green pepper over medium-high heat until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender.
Season: Drain off any excess fat, then stir in the garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder.
Mix: Add the refried beans and chopped green chiles to the skillet. Stir and cook until the mixture is heated all the way through.
Layer: Once heated, spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the beef and bean mixture right in the skillet.
Top: Sprinkle the chopped tomatoes and sliced black olives over the sour cream, then cover everything generously with the shredded Mexican blend cheese.
Melt: Place a lid on the skillet for just a minute or two,just long enough for the cheese to get perfectly melty.
Serve: Scoop it out and serve immediately with plenty of tortilla chips or as a filling for taco shells.
