Easy Low-Carb Mexican Skillet

I am LOVING these easy skillet dinners! Whether you have a busy family or just want a delicious, easy meal, I've found that one-pan options are making staying on-plan SO quick and easy!

This is an especially fantastic recipe because it's packed with veggies – but my kids can never tell!

This one-dish recipe doesn't use any special ingredients – just cheese, seasoning, meat, veggies, and sour cream.

First you'll want to brown the ground beef.

Once the beef is cooked through, you'll add the chopped onions – I prefer to use frozen pre-chopped onions to save time:

Next it's time to add the seasoning, veggies, and broth:

You'll top the skillet with cheese and let it melt, then serve with sour cream, avocado, and green onions.
