- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap, and vent. Microwave at HIGH 7 minutes, rotating dish a quarter-turn every 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Combine meat, onion, garlic, and chopped pepper in a large nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat until meat is browned, stirring until it crumbles. Drain, if necessary.
