Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 medium, chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 4 Low carb tortillas
• 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Green enchilada sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, around 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Stir cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 6

Add cauliflower rice to the skillet, mixing thoroughly. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 7

Warm the low-carb tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet for easy rolling.

Step 8

Evenly divide the beef and cauliflower mixture among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla into a burrito by folding in the sides and then rolling up from the bottom.

Step 9

Place the burritos seam-side down in a baking dish.

Step 10

In another bowl, mix green enchilada sauce and sour cream until well blended.

Step 11

Pour the sauce evenly over the burritos in the baking dish.

Step 12

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the sauced burritos.

Step 13

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 14

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 15

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your low-carb smothered burrito!
