- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cumin

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and sauté until the onions are tender and the garlic is translucent.
- To the pot, add the ground beef, salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder, and cook until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Add the cream cheese to the meat and cook until the cream cheese is completely mixed in with the meat and no little white bits remain.
- Add the diced tomatoes and green chilis and the beef stock. Increase the heat to high and bring to a slow boil. Then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and let simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
- Garnish each bowl with cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro before serving.
