Description
A hearty, fast skillet meal mixing crunchy Fritos with tender cabbage, seasoned beef, beans, corn, and melty cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 cups Fritos corn chips
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather and prep ingredients. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Drain and rinse beans and corn. Open the can of tomatoes.
- Browning the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.
- Sautéing the Cabbage and Mixing: Add chopped cabbage to the skillet and sauté until slightly translucent, about 6–8 minutes. Stir in beans, corn, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until heated through.
- Finishing and Serving: Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and serve in bowls topped with Fritos for crunch.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace ground beef with crumbled tofu or a plant-based crumble. Store Fritos separately to retain crunch when not serving.
