Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef 85% lean
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 bunch kale stems removed, leaves chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave. Make-Ahead: You can prep the vegetables (dice onion, chop kale, halve tomatoes) the night before. Variations: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, or stir in a handful of crumbled feta cheese before serving for a creamy, salty contrast. Serve over quinoa or cauliflower rice for a complete grain-free meal.
