- 🌊 1/4 cup water

📝 Directions:
- Cook the Ground Beef: 🥩 In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Onion and Garlic: 🧅 Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

- Add the Cheese: 🧀 Once the cabbage is tender, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: 🍽️ Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges if desired. This dish is great on its own, or you can serve it with a side of sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite taco toppings.
