Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Begin by preparing all your ingredients: Chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and dice the red bell pepper. Also, rinse and drain the canned black beans.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, and cook for another 3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Stir in the cumin and oregano, allowing them to cook with the vegetables for about 1 minute, releasing all the flavors.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is cooked through and slightly browned.
Stir in the black beans, salt, and black pepper, mixing everything well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the beans are heated through.
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro, mixing it thoroughly with the rest of the ingredients.
Serve the Low Carb Casamiento hot, garnished with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top to add a fresh citrus touch.
