Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
Begin by prepping your cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Set aside.
Dice the onion, bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until it's browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the meat and spices.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender and absorbed the flavors.
Slice the green onions and chop the parsley. Stir them into the skillet along with the lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
