Let's take taco night and take it to
0:02
another level that's hearty, healthy,
0:06
quick, and low carb. You're not going to
0:08
miss those tortilla chips, the
0:10
tortillas. This cabbage right here will
0:13
absorb all the flavors that we're going
0:15
to cook today in a very minimal amount
0:18
of ingredients and very quickly.
0:21
Usually, I like tacos with the crunchy
0:23
shells, but are they really that good
0:25
for you? Not as good as a cabbage. Go
0:29
get one. I've got one pound of ground
0:32
beef in just a regular size skillet.
0:36
We don't have to go get the large one.
0:38
I'm going to break up the ground beef.
0:41
We're going to start browning it up and
0:44
getting that going.
0:49
Now, we're going to be flavoring this
0:51
dish with taco flavorings. Now, you
0:54
might have these seasonings in your
0:57
seasoning drawer or cabinet, or you
0:59
could be using your own homemade taco
1:02
seasoning blend, or you can use the
1:05
packet that you get from your store.
1:08
So, either way, it's just as simple.
1:10
While the ground beef is browning up,
1:13
we're going to go ahead and get the
1:14
cabbage ready. Now, I already took off
1:16
the outer layers and gave it a rinse.
1:18
I'm going to take my sharp knife. I like
1:20
to cut off the four sides.
1:23
go all the way around.
1:26
Now, this dish comes together fairly
1:29
quickly, so you want to have everything
1:31
kind of ready. So, while one thing is
1:33
cooking, I'm just going to prepare
1:34
everything else.
1:38
And I think I'm going to get that right
1:39
there. Now, just chop it the way you
1:42
like it. I have like bite-sized pieces.
1:45
That way, you can see them and they
1:46
don't disappear in the dish.
1:51
I love that cabbage absorbs flavors
1:56
and it doesn't offer a, you know,
1:58
different taste to the dish.
2:01
It's not very hard, you guys.
2:04
Just rough chop it into pieces that, you
2:07
know, people can eat. This will all
2:10
render down
2:12
and fit into that pan.
2:15
There we go. Now, at the same time that
2:17
you are chopping up your cabbage, you
2:19
can get your onion ready, which I've
2:21
already done here for you guys. It's a
2:23
red onion. You can use a yellow onion or
2:27
a white onion. Just chop it up.
2:31
The smaller the better because it'll
2:34
diminish down into your dish. It'll
2:37
absorb flavors, too, and it also bulks
2:39
up a dish also.
2:41
But if you don't like onion, you can
2:43
totally leave it out of this dish.
2:45
And if you want to mince some garlic,
2:47
you can do that at this time. Also,
2:50
you'll be good to go. Once your ground
2:53
beef is all browned up, broken up, you
2:56
can just push it off to the side. And
2:57
then we're going to grab some paper
2:59
towels. We're going to take out the
3:02
excess grease that's in our pan here
3:04
before we start the next step.
3:07
We don't want that flavor in there.
3:14
Just as many as you need to absorb that.
3:16
Push it into the meat.
3:24
We're going to add in the onion.
3:28
We're going to cook this down for a few
3:29
minutes until the onion is nice and
3:31
soft.
3:37
Where are you?
3:39
If you like cabbage dishes, I have a
3:41
whole ton of them out there. Go to
3:44
catherine'splates.com.
3:45
I'll put that right here. And then you
3:47
can just type that in. And then go into
3:49
the search, look for cabbage, and then
3:51
all of those cabbage dishes will come
3:53
in. One of my favorites is the oh my
3:57
gosh, the fetuccini one where you
4:00
replace the noodles with cabbage and it
4:02
absorbs that delicious sauce, that
4:05
creamy Alfredo sauce. Yeah, that's one
4:08
of my favorites. My all top favorite
4:10
would have to be cabbage rolls cuz I was
4:12
raised on those as a very young child.
4:16
My mom taught me how to make those. I
4:19
can't stop making them. Love them.
4:23
I made them for you and they're really
4:25
delicious. So, I love a lot of
4:29
cabbage dishes.
4:31
One of my favorite vegetables. The
4:33
onions look nice and softened down. What
4:36
we're going to do is add in our garlic.
4:38
You want to mince about two cloves of
4:39
garlic or pull out two teaspoons of
4:42
garlic from your jar of garlic here.
4:44
We'll add that. We'll cook it down for
4:46
one minute to lock in that garlic flavor
4:49
into everything in here and cook it
4:51
down.
4:57
I'm loving this dish, you guys. Loving
4:59
it. All
5:02
right, now it's time to lock in some
5:03
flavors to give it that taco feel. We
5:06
talked about it earlier and what I did
5:09
was I measured out the seasonings here
5:11
that you're going to need and we'll talk
5:14
about that right now.
5:17
What we have one teaspoon of paprika.
5:22
This is a smoked variety. One teaspoon
5:24
of ground chili. One teaspoon of ground
5:28
cumin. I've got a quarter teaspoon of
5:31
black pepper and then half a teaspoon of
5:34
salt. We can adjust this along the way.
5:37
I'm gonna go ahead and just sprinkle it
5:38
all in.
5:40
If you're using the storebought, you can
5:42
use like one half of the package
5:45
and see how that goes. And then you can
5:47
adjust later. And if you're using a
5:49
homemade variety that I have right here,
5:52
you can find my homemade variety right
5:54
here on my website also,
5:55
kathernplates.com, called Big Batch Taco
5:58
Seasoning.
5:59
For this, I would put in about two
6:01
tablespoons of that and then adjust it
6:03
from there. All right, we're going to
6:05
get the meat nice and coated.
6:09
It smells amazing in here, you guys.
6:14
Now, I'm going to start incorporating
6:15
the cabbage.
6:19
And then we're going to add something to
6:20
that because it's going to need some
6:21
liquid.
6:23
I've got one can 14 oz of diced
6:26
tomatoes. Add the juice and all. We'll
6:30
go ahead and start incorporating that
6:32
in.
6:36
We'll mix this all up and start
6:38
incorporating more cabbage till we get
6:40
it all in there.
6:43
Get it nice and softening down.
6:47
Oh my gosh, it smells so delicious.
6:51
We'll just keep doing this until we get
6:52
all the cabbage in there.
6:55
Now, if you can't get it all in there,
6:56
don't worry. You can save cabbage for
6:58
anything else, right? You can put it
6:59
into anything. Soften it down.
7:03
Once you get everything covered, all the
7:06
cabbage in there wilted down just a
7:10
second,
7:13
place a lid on. We're going to cook this
7:16
for about 10 to 15 minutes until that
7:18
cabbage is nice and wilted down,
7:20
absorbed all of those flavors. You could
7:24
go in every now and then, take your
7:25
spoon and mix it up, and then put the
7:27
lid back on and finish cooking it for
7:29
that for that time. Now, in the
7:31
meantime, I'm going to grate up some
7:33
cheese and get that ready. And then
7:35
we're going to finish this off.
7:38
All right. If you're not grating fresh,
7:40
what's wrong with you? I'm just kidding.
7:45
Add the cheese you like. I'm doing a
7:47
shredded cheddar cheese. Getting that
7:49
ready. I got some cilantro here.
7:54
It's kind of like any kind of toppings
7:56
that you like
7:58
on your taco.
8:00
you can have ready to put on top of it.
8:03
This
8:04
is going to be the glue that holds it
8:06
all together in our skillet meal. There
8:08
we go. Boom. Let's give it a try.
8:17
Nothing like a little cheese snack, huh?
8:19
Now, if you like your cabbage with a
8:21
little bite to it, then you know, be
8:23
done before the 10 minutes. Whatever you
8:26
like, it's all good.
8:29
Can y'all see me? There we go.
8:33
All right, let me show you how we're
8:34
going to finish this off. Turn off your
8:36
burner.
8:38
Take your cheese.
8:40
Sprinkle it on top
8:44
if y'all want it on there. I do.
8:50
We're going to put a little bit of
8:51
cilantro.
8:53
All right. I'm going to put a lid on it.
8:55
Let that cheese melt. We're going to
8:56
come back and give that a try.
8:58
Does that not look good, you guys? Yum.
9:03
Let's plate it up.
9:13
Let me grab a fork and give that a try
9:15
for you. This calls for a big hearty
9:17
bite.
9:32
That is so delicious.
9:34
I don't think it needs anything else.
9:36
Thomas will probably put some hot sauce
9:37
on it. Of course, he puts hot sauce on
9:40
everything. But to me, this is perfect.
9:44
Everything. It just absorbed all those
9:46
flavors.
9:52
All
9:55
right. Who's changing up taco night?
9:57
Y'all do it at least once, right? Make
10:00
it healthy. Low carb, quick, easy, and
10:05
it is delicious. Wow.
10:08
And don't forget that big cheese pull.
10:10
If you can get it on there, put more
10:11
cheese in there. I think I should have
10:13
put more cheese in there. That's okay.
