How to Make Slaw Taco Skillet

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 packet (1 ounce) of taco seasoning, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add 4 cups of shredded cabbage (about 1 medium head) to the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with sour cream (optional) and warm tortillas. Enjoy!
  8. For a complete meal, you can also serve it wrapped in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.
