Calories: 535kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 large bell peppers chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons cilantro finely minced
- cauliflower Rice optional
Instructions
- Warm butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until soft.
- Add the ground beef and taco seasoning to the skillet. Break the meat apart with a spatula as needed. Cook while occasionally stirring, about 5 minutes to lightly brown the meat.
- Mix tomatoes into the meat. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Continue cooking everything for another minute or two.
- Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the meat. Cover the skillet with a lid and continue warming until the cheese melts completely. Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro. Serve warm with optional Cauliflower Rice.
Notes
- Taste while cooking and adjust seasoning blend to suit your taste and preferred spice level.
- If there’s too much fat in the pan, drain some of it before combining it with other ingredients to avoid a greasy consistency in your meal.
- Season and brown ground beef in advance if you’re planning to batch-cook for multiple recipes. Once ready to serve, add the veggies and other ingredients and finish cooking.
