Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 head green cabbage sliced in shreds
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1 1/2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the cabbage into thin shreds. This ensures that it cooks evenly and absorbs all the delicious flavors from the other ingredients.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the beef is browned, sprinkle the taco seasoning mix and dried minced onion over the meat. Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
  • Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir everything together, allowing the cabbage to wilt and soften, which will take about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the cabbage is tender, sprinkle the Mexican cheese blend over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Tex-Mex Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet warm. It's perfect on its own or served with tortillas for a complete meal!
