Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 2 bell peppers diced
  • 1 12 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chilis
  • 1-2 large zucchinis diced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 3 cups baby kale/spinach mixture this sounds like a lot- it cooks down to a small amount, optional
  • 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar and jack cheese
  • green onions to garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pan, lightly brown ground beef and crumble well.
  • Drain excess fat.
  • Add vegetables, and cook until browned.
  • 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)
  • Add greens and let fully wilt.
  • Mix well.
  • Cover with shredded cheese, and let cheese melt - about five minutes (sometimes it helps to cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese faster.)
  • When cheese is melted, serve over a bed of lettuce, rice, or in a taco or burrito!
  • Garnish with green onions if desired.
