Taco Scramble Stir Fry
From: Katie @ wellnessmama.com/
Tacos might not be the usual thing you think about when you think about a stir fry, but once you realize that you can have the taste of tacos without using the shells, and without having to assemble them, this dish makes a lot of sense. They’ve used ground beef to have it turn out as shown, but they point out that you can also use ground turkey or ground pork, and even other meat options like ground venison, or ground bison. It’s time to expand your flavor profile and try meats you might not otherwise have eaten before.
I’m a huge fan of stir-frys. One pan, minimal cleanup…. yes please! And my kids are big fans of this recipe and love helping make it. It takes under 20 minutes to cook and is perfect for busy nights.
This stir-fry is also wonderful as filler for an omelet for breakfast, or it can be easily packed for lunch (it’s good cold too!)
You can easily customize to your tastes and add any other toppings you like: salsa, fresh tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, guacamole, etc.
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (or turkey, pork, venison, bison, etc)
2 medium yellow onions
2 bell peppers (any color)
2 medium squash or zucchini
1 large hand-full of fresh spinach (2-3 ounces)
Spices used to your taste: I used about 1 tablespoon each of: cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, Himalayan salt, and fresh cilantro
Optional toppings: Cheese, Sour Cream, Salsa, Avocado Slices
Instructions
Brown the beef until well cooked in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.
Remove and add thinly sliced onions, peppers, squash/zucchini to the pan and saute, stirring constantly, until starting to soften.
Return meat to pan and add fresh spinach.
Spice to taste and continue to cook until spinach is wilted.
Remove and serve with any desired toppings.
Enjoy!
