Saute Onion: 🧅 In a skillet, saute the onions in oil over medium heat until they become tender and translucent.

-
Drain Excess Fat: 🍴 Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
-
Seasoning: 🌶️ Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, and any other desired seasonings. Stir well to combine, allowing the spices to infuse into the meat.

-
Cooling: ❄️ Set the beef and bean mixture aside to cool completely.
