A simple and delicious Low Carb Cabbage Taco Skillet that combines seasoned ground beef with tender cabbage, making a satisfying, low-carb meal perfect for quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped (about 4 cups)

Seasonings & Miscellaneous

  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is well browned and the onions are translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add cabbage and taco seasoning: Stir in the chopped cabbage and sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the mixture. Add salt to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  3. Cook until cabbage is tender: Reduce heat to medium, cover the skillet, and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has softened and absorbed the taco flavors.
  4. Add cheese (optional): If using cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet again for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  5. Serve warm: Once the cabbage is tender and the cheese melted, remove from heat and serve immediately, enjoying a flavorful low-carb meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Feel free to add chopped bell peppers for extra color and crunch.
  • Use homemade taco seasoning to control sodium and preservatives.
  • Serve with avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
  • Leftovers refrigerate well for up to 3 days and reheat on stovetop or microwave.
