Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Microwave cauliflower rice according to package directions. Drain any excess water from the bag.
Meanwhile, spray a large skillet generously with cooking spray and add the diced onion. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, then stir in the cauliflower rice and a few cracks/shakes of salt and pepper. Saute together for another 4-5 minutes. Then transfer the cauliflower rice and onion mixture to the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef with a few cracks/shakes of salt and pepper. Cook until beef is no longer pink, breaking into smaller pieces as you go. Then add the taco seasoning and stir until evenly dispersed amongst the beef. Remove from heat and layer the beef on top of the cauliflower rice layer.
In a medium sized bowl, add the cream cheese and sour cream; mix to combine (I used a hand mixer for this but a spoon works too as long as you combine them well!) Then fold in the diced tomatoes. Add this layer on top of the beef and spread across the pan evenly.
Sprinkle with cheese then place in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbly!
