Gluten-Free Taco Skillet

Quick and easy gluten-free taco skillet with ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese is a flavorful one-pan meal ready in 30 minutes— perfect for busy weeknights.

Gluten-Free Taco Skillet is a an easy one-pan meal that is quick, easy, and ready in about 30 minutes. This recipe is adapted from one of Grandma Helen’s favorite weeknight dinner recipes. I often double the recipe and divide the leftovers into single-serving containers.

The key to making this dinner is a great non-stick sauteuse pan with a lid. For doubling the recipe, I use a large, 7-quart Calphalon sauteuse pan, but an 5-quart non-stick chef pan will work fine for the default recipe (4 servings).

To simplify this recipe, choosing a lean ground beef, 90% or higher. With a lean beef, often, you have little or no fat to drain from the beef and onions before adding the rest of the ingredients. You can certainly use a higher fat meat that will be more cost effective, but have a can or jar on had and a strainer to carefully drain the fat.
