Preparation
- Serving size:8.50 oz (calculated)Notes: 1 cup
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, brown the beef until halfway done, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion, bell pepper and taco seasoning and cook for another minute or two.
- Use a food processor to blend the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice. Alternatively, use a grater to grate the cauliflower.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, riced cauliflower and chicken stock. Stir until well combined.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium.
- Cook until the stock has reduced and the cauliflower has the desired tenderness, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Season to taste, factoring in that the cheese adds saltiness and helps mellow out the heat.
- Sprinkle on the grated cheese and broil until the cheese has melted and is golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Alternatively, cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking on the stovetop until the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes.
- Top with some freshly chopped cilantro and enjoy, either by itself or with extra toppings, such as sour cream and avocado.
- You can store the dish in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.
