1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Brown ground beef for 5-7 minutes and drain excess fat.

2. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and spices for 30 seconds.

3. Add cabbage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Stir in tomatoes, green chiles, and beef broth. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes until cabbage is tender.

6. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the mixture. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until melted.

7. Top with crushed Fritos and fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.

Add Fritos just before serving to keep them crunchy.

Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef if desired.

Substitute Monterey Jack for cheddar cheese.

Adjust chili powder and green chiles to taste.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Store corn chips separately. Freeze the beef and cabbage mixture for up to 2-3 months.
