Taco cabbage

I got this recipe off YouTube. But changed it to utilize what I already had. 

Original;

ground beef : 1 lb ( 450 g)

olive oil  : 2 tbsp

salt and pepper to taste 

a small head of cabbage : about 6 heaping cups, roughly chopped

salsa : 3/4 cup

taco seasoning : 3 tbsp

water : 1 tbsp ( if cabbage looked dry while cooking add a little more)

cooked beans : 1/2 cup ( any kind work, black beans are best for adding a pop of color )

mozzarella  : 3/4 cup ( or cheese of your choice )

fresh cilantro for topping 

I have a roll of taco seasoned turkey in the freezer. There wasn’t enough fat from the turkey to cook the cabbage so I added about 1/2 of chicken bone broth, not the water the recipe called for. Didn’t add the cheese, forgot. Did’t add the salsa because the southwest beans I added gave the dish a lot of flavor. 

Fry meat in a pan just like you would for tacos. Drain fat if necessary. When cooked add taco seasoning and water (bone broth will add more protein to this recipe). I added some minced garlic and onion flakes to the meat while it was frying. Added cabbage and cooked for about 15 minutes until cabbage is tender. 

Divided this into 4 servings but in all honesty, 2 would have been more filling.

  1. I will have to buy a head of cabbage next week. I love cabbage and will try any recipe that I find that has it in there. I will give this a try after next Fridays shop. This week it is Bird’s Eye Normandy vegetable blend- white rice and a variety of Asian themed sauces to make it seem like a different meal every day.
