Again there’s no cooking fish today due to lack of fish biting under the ice. But in my eternal quest for healthy low-carb recipes I stumbled upon this jaw-droppingly-gorgeous photo of a skillet taco. Let’s see if I can come even close to duplicating this masterpiece. See the recipe and music credits below.
RECIPE FOR SKILLET TACO
Inspired by the recipe found here: sweetcsdesigns.com/one-pot-cheesy-taco-skillet
Ingredients
1 LB ground beef
1 large yellow onion, diced (I used 8 ounces pre-chopped onions from supermarket)
2 bell peppers, diced (I used 8 oz. of pre-chopped bell peppers, various colors)
1 can of 4.5 ounce can chopped chili peppers (I used my own roasted Hatch chiles)
1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilis
Taco seasoning (one packet, or 1 ounce of homemade taco seasoning)
3 cups baby kale/spinach mixture (it cooks down to a small amount)
1½ cup shredded cheddar and jack cheese
green onions, to garnish
Instructions
• In a large pan, lightly brown ground beef and crumble well.
• Drain excess fat.
• Add onions and peppers, and cook until browned.
• Add canned tomatoes, taco seasoning, and any water needed for taco seasoning to evenly coat mixture (up to 1 tbsp- the liquid from the tomatoes will help)
• Add greens and let fully wilt.
• Mix well.
• Cover with shredded cheese and let cheese melt.
When cheese is melted, serve over a bed of lettuce, rice, or in a tortilla.
Recipe for Taco Seasoning:
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mix together all ingredients. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
2. Brown your beef and drain off fat. Sprinkle seasoning evenly over meat and add ⅓ cup of water. Simmer until water is adsorbed.
3. I used the entire amount of seasoning in the video and the skillet taco mixture turned out great.
The background music is called, “Tijuana.” It was purchased from audioblock.com
