Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle in a splash of oil. Once hot, toss in the minced onions, sauté for about 4-5 minutes until slightly golden. Add in the ground beef and sear until the beef is browned slightly.

Sprinkle in the minced garlic, cumin, chipotle powder/chili/cayenne, and tomato paste. Stir adding a splash of water (or more oil) if the meat is drying out. Add more spices to taste.
