Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450 g) Ground beef
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) Salsa, your favorite kind
  • 2 cups (200 g / 7.1 oz) Cabbage, shredded
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) Chili powder
  • ¾ cup (85 g / 3 oz) Cheese, shredded (cheddar or Monterey Jack work well)
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the chili powder or use a hot salsa.
  • Swap the cheddar for Pepper Jack for a spicy melt, or use a Mexican cheese blend.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  3. Once cooked through, carefully drain off any excess fat.
  4. Stir in the salsa, shredded cabbage, and chili powder until everything is well combined.
  5. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese until it's melted and gooey.
  7. Garnish with freshly sliced green onions and serve immediately.
  8. Sauté half a diced onion and a chopped bell pepper with the beef for extra flavor and nutrients.
