Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned. Drain the grease.

Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, salsa, and water. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
