Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Drain fat.
Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, fire-roasted tomatoes, sour cream, and water to skillet and stir until combined. Let thicken 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
