2 cupscauliflower rice

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F.

Step 2

Heat PAM in a large cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add the diced red pepper, red onion and jalapeño to the skillet and cook until the red pepper begins to soften. Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon so that it is crumbly in texture. Add in the cumin, coriander, paprika, chili and salt and let everything cook for about 8 minutes until the beef is cooked through and no longer pink.

Step 3

Once the beef is cooked through, stir in the canned tomatoes and beef stock. Finally add in the cauliflower rice and green onions and stir so that everything is well mixed.

Step 4

Cover the skillet with tinfoil and transfer it to the oven to bake for 45 minutes until all of the liquid has evaporated and the cauliflower is soft. Remove the tin foil with 10 minutes left of cook time so that the top can lightly brown.

Step 5

Serve the casserole topped with salsa, or chopped cilantro.
