Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 450 g lean ground beef Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • 5 cups green cabbage, shredded or chopped
  • 60 ml low carb taco seasoning Make sure it's gluten-free if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 60 ml water
  • 150 g cheddar cheese, shredded

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the cabbage, taco seasoning, dried minced onion, and water. Continue cooking and stir regularly until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cabbage and beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5–10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with sour cream, salsa, avocado, or fresh cilantro. Optionally, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for spiciness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for 2–3 months.
