Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, add 1 chopped onion and 1 diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Now, add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook it until browned, about 5-7 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.

Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat if necessary.

Next, add 1 can of kidney beans, 1 can of black beans, and 1 can of refried beans to the skillet.

Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.

While it simmers, shred 1 cup of cheddar cheese and chop 2 stalks of green onion for garnishing.
