Beef Taco Skillet Recipe with Bell Peppers and Corn

Produce Box Vegetables: Bell or Sweet Peppers, Tomatoes, Sweet Corn, ADD: Wilted Sweet Potato Greens or Diced Green Beans

“To make it dairy-free, I omitted the cheese and topped the taco skillet with a chipotle cashew sauce. To make fully Paleo, simply omit the corn!
