For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a diced jalapeño to the skillet when browning the ground beef. If you don't have beef bouillon on hand, chicken or vegetable bouillon can be substituted. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or a squeeze of lime for an extra layer of flavor before serving. Adjust water based on your preference; adding more liquid if you like a more soupy end-product.
