Share:
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 bag frozen cauliflower rice (or 1 medium head of cauliflower riced in food processor)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (recommend Casa Fiesta brand)
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, cut into pieces
- ½ head of lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup sliced small bell peppers
- 1 sliced cucumber
Instructions
- Brown the beef, then add the black beans. Mix together.
- Add the entire packet of taco seasoning and a half cup of water. Mix until combined. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed, stirring ocassionally.
- While beef and beans are cooking, prepare the cauliflower rice. If using frozen cauliflower cover the pan for 3-5 minutes. Once the cauliflower is thawed, sauté for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and water is absorbed. See notes for fresh cauliflower preparation.
- Then add salt, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder to the cauliflower rice and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chopped cilantro and cook for another minute.
- Prepare a salad with whatever vegetables you desire. I like to use lettuce, tomatoes, mini bell peppers, cucumbers, and mushrooms.
- Top the salad with the cilantro cauliflower rice, ground beef and black bean mixture and finish off with some pieces of avocado.
- Drizzle with lime juice, salsa, or whatever dressing you prefer.
Notes
- If using fresh cauliflower, cut the cauliflower into chunks and place them in the food processor. Pulse the cauliflower until it is about the size of grains of rice. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and sauté the cauliflower for about 5 minutes before adding the spices.
- For a Whole30 version, leave the beans out and make your own taco seasoning.
