3. Next, increase the heat to medium-high and add ground beef and break it up with a spoon to ensure it cooks evenly.
4. Cook until it is no longer pink and is browned on all sides; usually 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add cumin, paprika, and cinnamon, then add canned tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, beans, and coriander. Season with salt and pepper.
