Cast Iron Taco Skillet

Making nourishing, from-scratch meals for my family is a priority in our home. I want every meal to be packed with real ingredients, delicious flavors, and the kind of nourishment that keeps my little ones growing strong. This Cast Iron Taco Skillet is one of those meals that checks all the boxes—hearty, packed with veggies and protein, and, most importantly, something the whole family will eat without complaint (yes, even my toddler!).  

One of the reasons this dish is extra special is that it starts with farm-fresh beef. If you’ve never had high-quality, locally raised beef, you’re missing out! The depth of flavor, the rich nutrients, and the way it cooks up so beautifully make it far superior to store-bought options. Pair that with a mix of wholesome vegetables and fiber-rich beans, and you’ve got a meal that is both satisfying and nourishing.  

Oh, and did I mention this is a one-pan meal cooked in a cast iron skillet? I swear by my cast iron, not just for the incredible flavor it adds but also for its ability to retain heat, cook evenly, and even add a little boost of iron to our food. If you haven’t been cooking with cast iron, this recipe is a great place to start!
