  • - 4-5 cups shredded cabbage
  • - 1/4 cup low-carb taco seasoning
  • - 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish lean.
  • Stir in the salsa and taco seasoning, mixing well to coat the beef evenly with flavor.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and, if using, black beans to the skillet. Pour in the water and stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cover the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again to let the cheese melt for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve hot, garnished with your choice of optional toppings like sour cream, green onions, or avocado.
  • For the best results when cooking this dish, be sure to wash the cabbage and remove any wilted outer leaves before shredding. Additionally, this dish is ideal for those looking for quick and flavorful dinner options.
  • If you like a bit of crunch, consider cooking the cabbage in a separate skillet for a slightly firmer texture.
  • Furthermore, feel free to customize the dish by adding extra vegetables or adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
  • Enjoy this flavorful meal as a wholesome dinner or as part of your meal prep for the week!
