Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
