Heat the olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until the meat is browned. Done when opaque and browned, 160°F.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and coat the beef.
Add the diced tomatoes, pinto beans, beef broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes to thicken and develop flavor. Taste and add a pinch more salt only if needed.
