Need to put together a great, nutritious, low carb meal, but don’t have much time to cook it?

Look no further.

This recipe is one I kind of came up with accidentally, but it’s my favorite kind of recipe.

That’s because to make it you pretty much just throw everything into a pan and mix it together until it’s done. One pan meals are a lifesaver for me when I'm running around everywhere without any time to even think about what I'm going to cook.

This is an easy, peasy dinner.

And if your family is a fan of tacos, they’re almost guaranteed to love this recipe.

Be sure to make extra so you can actually have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Why do we forget about cabbage? It’s a hearty vegetable that contains only 2.3g of net carbs per cup.

I love it for its nutritional value and taste, but also because it’s very filling.

It’s the star of this recipe and really what bulks up the dish.

The macros are pretty solid, but an important note: when you cook this, your macros can greatly vary especially based on what kind of salsa you use. My favorite is Pace Organic Salsa.

I made this yesterday and liked it. I added garlic and used broccoli slaw instead of cabbage.

While I LOVE your recipes, the ads are out of control.

I followed this to a T. There is not enough liquid to even bring to boil, and this mixture becomes something that needs a significant amount of something not in the recipe. I was really disappointed. The amount of salsa and cabbage brings about a pretty dry mix. Amounts should be reviewed before preparing and following this recipe.

Extremely easy and a big hit with my teenager as well. Add nacho chips for her and she’s all smiles.

Thanks! Definitely making again and sharing.
