One Pot Cheesy Taco Skillet

Tacos are a weekly staple around here, but this was a great way of adding in tons of veggies and topping it off with cheese :) The kids were able to eat it with tortilla chips and Justin and I over lettuce (don't get me wrong here...I wanted those chips!). But it was another easy recipe to incorporate low carb for our whole family.

Ingredients:


  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1-2 large zucchinis, diced (we used one)
  • taco seasoning
  • 3 cups baby kale/spinach mixture (this sounds like a lot- it cooks down to a small amount), optional
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and jack cheese
  • green onions, to garnish
  1. In a large pan, lightly brown ground beef and crumble well.
  2. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add onions, zucchini, and peppers, and cook until browned.
  4. 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)
  5. Add greens and let fully wilt.
  6. Mix well.
  7. Cover with shredded cheese and let cheese melt.
  8. When cheese is melted, serve over a bed of lettuce, rice, or in a taco or burrito!
