Instructions:
- Cook the ground beef:
In a large pan or skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned. - Sauté onions and garlic:
Push the beef to one side of the pan. On the other side, sauté diced onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant. - Add tomatoes and spices:
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), powdered broth, cumin, cayenne, smoked paprika, and salt. Let the mixture come to a simmer. - Cook the mixture:
Lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Adjust seasoning if needed. - Add cabbage:
Add the chopped cabbage to the pan and mix it with the beef and tomato mixture. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender. - Serve:
Serve hot and enjoy!
