1 cup white onion minced
1 4 oz can roasted green chilis diced

1/3 cup taco sauce
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp salt

Sauté the onion and roasted green chilis in a little oil, add in the ground beef to brown. Make sure to stir the ground beef regularly to break it into small bits.
While the meat is browning, mix the taco sauce, water, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper together.
Once the ground beef has finished browning, drain any extra liquid, and turn the heat down to a low simmer.
Add in the seasonings and cook covered for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, to incorporate all the flavors.
