Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by making cauliflower rice. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor to create rice-sized grains.

Step 2

Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef or turkey to the clear space.

Step 6

Cook the meat until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste, mixing it thoroughly with the meat and vegetables.

Step 8

Add the chicken broth, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring it into the meat mixture to ensure it is evenly combined.

Step 11

Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to absorb the flavors and become tender.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 13

Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
