Taco Cabbage Skillet

 

Taco Seasoning Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsps chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp paprika
• 3 tsps ground cumin
• 2 tsps sea salt
• 2 tsps ground black pepper

Taco Seasoning Instructions:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients until combined well.
• Store in an airtight container.
• To use your homemade spice mix in recipes, start with a smaller sprinkle – taste test to decide the amount of spice for your family’s taste. Usually, 1-2 Tablespoons per pound of ground meat is perfect.

Cheese please:

Instead of buying pre-shredded cheese, I like to find a block of grass-fed cheese ON SALE and shred it myself. Or have Tristan do it.

Many pre-shredded varieties are coated in very strange things (anti-caking & clumping garbage) that actually interfere with the natural texture and melting quality.

Be sure to use good quality diced or crushed tomatoes, because that’s where this dish gets its flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 lb ground turkey, bison, or lean ground beef
• 1 small head of green cabbage, chopped
• 1 x 15oz jar diced or crushed tomatoes with juice
• 2 Tbsps homemade taco seasoning
• sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese

• Optional toppings:

  • red onion or pickled red onion, diced avocado, fresh lime wedges, keto tortilla chips, cilantro, sliced jalapeno, etc.

  Instructions:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the meat and cook, mincing with a wooden spoon.

• Once the meat is no longer pink, add in the diced tomatoes with their juice, all seasonings, and chopped cabbage.

• Stir well to combine. Partially cover and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently for around 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender to your liking.

• Sprinkle with freshly grated cheese while hot then add toppings of choice.

  Enjoy!
