"Cheesy" Beef Taco Skillet
I'd be lying if I said I couldn't eat a Mexican meal of sorts every night for dinner. Anything with bold flavor, guac, and cilantro always hits the spot!
The struggle of eating "healthfully" at Mexican restaurants years ago was real. When I think about my childhood and "Mexi" restaurants, I think of Margaritas, Shorty's, and all the chain spots. Dishes were always fried, filled with cheese, made of only flour tortillas, and always limited in veggies. As you can imagine, this is not ideal for someone trying to eat dairy free, lower carb, and less heavy.
Fast forward to todays more modern Mexican with BOLD flavors, lots of color, corn tortillas, and plenty of guac! And, the creation of an amazing pre-made dairy free queso.....yes I said it, doesn't it sound too good to be true?? Thanks to Siete Foods, this dream has become a reality. This beef taco skillet is "cheesy", rich in fiber, and made with the very best grass fed organic beef from ButcherBox. And of course, it's topped with cilantro to give you all the feels. As I write this, I'm ashamed to say I didn't top this off with any guac or sliced avocado, but that would definitely make this dish a 12/10!
Make this for the whole family for taco night or as part of your meal prep for dinner during the week. Throw this beef mixture into a corn tortilla, a lettuce wrap, on quinoa/rice, or simply eat it with a side of veggies like I did. And please enjoy taco night just as much as I always do!
