This super easy dish is always a hit in my house. It comes together so quickly that I don’t mind making it at the end of a busy day, but it also works well as a make-ahead meal.
I like to plan it after a night of fish tacos with slaw or an Asian-inspired salad – anything that leaves me with leftover cabbage. And if you’ve ever bought a head of cabbage, you know it seems to last forever in the crisper, making this dish an easy go to in my menu rotation.
Any ground protein works – turkey, chicken, or pork and I’ll usually serve it over cauliflower rice, jasmine rice, or just on its own with a generous drizzle of sriracha or chili crisp. The best part? Leftovers make the perfect breakfast with a couple of fried eggs on top.
Hope you enjoy this flavorful, easy, week-night friendly meal.
Cheers,
