Instructions
Creating Tex Mex Cabbage Skillet is both easy and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps for a delicious dinner:
1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef (or meat alternative) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Veggies: Stir in the chopped cabbage and diced red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt.
4. Incorporate Spices: Add the taco seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat all ingredients evenly.
5. Combine Beans: Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
6. Taste and Adjust: Sample the mixture and adjust seasonings as necessary. You might like it spicier, in which case feel free to add some chili flakes.
7. Serve: Once everything is cooked, serve hot. Top with cheese, avocado, sour cream, or fresh cilantro if desired.
