Instructions
- In a large pan, brown ground beef, and drain excess fat. (you may have done this on prep day - bravo!)

- Guys, this is even BETTER the next day - I recommend you make this for your lunches 🙂
Notes
Modifications:
Vegetarian: If you're looking for a great way to make your veggies into a delicious, Mexican, cheesy dish, this will be perfect without the beef.
Gluten Free: You should be safe with this one, just mind your taco seasoning or make your own.
Dairy Free: It'll be a "Taco Skillet" but yes! Skip the cheese or sub for a non-dairy version.
