4.9 from 58 reviews

A quick and flavorful Low-Carb Cabbage Taco Skillet combining savory ground beef with seasoned cabbage and melted cheddar cheese for a satisfying, healthy meal perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef

Vegetables

  • 4 cups chopped cabbage

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until it is browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  2. Add Taco Seasoning: Once the beef is cooked through, sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat and stir well to evenly coat the beef. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Add Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, stirring to combine with the seasoned beef. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. Top with Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve Warm: Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat and serve immediately for a hearty, low-carb taco-inspired meal.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • Adjust the taco seasoning to your preferred spice level.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cheddar cheese with a vegan cheese alternative or omit cheese.
  • Serve with avocado or sour cream for added richness.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop.
