Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
8 medium inner romaine lettuce leaves (from a romaine heart)

Toppings:

1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
