Making Frito Cowboy Cabbage is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
3. Add Cabbage: Stir in the chopped cabbage, cooking for about 5 minutes until it begins to wilt.
