Heatproof mixing bowl
Pot for boiling potatoes
Large serving platter

Method

Start by boiling the diced potatoes in salted water for about 10-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the beef strips to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and ground cumin. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Pour in the orange juice, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the shredded lettuce and cabbage to the skillet, tossing them with the beef mixture until just wilted. Remove from heat.
In a separate pan, lightly fry the boiled potatoes over medium heat until they are crispy and golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
To serve, layer the crispy potatoes on a platter and top with the orange cumin beef mixture. Garnish with chopped cilantro and additional toppings if desired.

Notes

Feel free to switch up the beef for chicken or even a plant-based protein for a different take.
If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked potatoes or skip toasting your greens altogether!
Leftovers heat perfectly in the microwave or on the stovetop—just add a splash of water or orange juice when reheating to retain moisture.
Enjoy the cooking adventure, and remember, cooking is about experimenting and having fun!
