Heat oil in a large frying pan, add garlic and bell pepper, fry over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the minced meat, increase the heat to high and fry, breaking up any lumps with a fork, until the color changes. Add chopped tomatoes along with juice and half of the green onions, simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Season the minced meat with salt and hot pepper to taste. Heat for another minute and remove from heat. Add the remaining green onions.
