Ingredients
- 4 ounce ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cumin powder
- 2 cup green cabbage (shredded)
- 0.5 avocado (sliced)
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the chipotle powder and cumin powder, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded green cabbage to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender-crisp.

Notes
Adjust the amount of chipotle powder to your preferred spice level. For an even quicker meal, use pre-shredded cabbage.
