Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. ground beef
- To taste salt and fresh-ground pepper
- 2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
- 1 T Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Pace Picante Sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 4 oz. can diced green Anaheim chiles with juice (optional)
- 1 6 oz. can black olives, drained and cut in half
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1 T lime juice
- 1/2 cup diced cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup grated Mexican Blend cheese
- 4 cups frozen cauliflower rice
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- Optional garlic cloves for seasoning the oil
- 1 small Poblano chile pepper
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- To taste salt and fresh-ground black pepper
Instructions
- If you’re using frozen cauliflower rice, take it out of the freezer and let it start to thaw on the counter.
- Heat 2 tsp. of olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan, add the ground beef, season with salt and a little black pepper, and cook over medium-high heat until the beef is nicely browned. Use a turner or a potato masher to break the meat apart as it cooks.
- When the beef is well-browned, add Spike Seasoning, Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning, Salsa, water, and diced green chiles (if using) and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- While the meat cooks, drain the olives and cut in half, cut up avocados and toss with lime juice, and cut up the tomatoes.
- Remove seeds from the Poblano pepper and finely dice, and thinly slice the green onions. Have the grated cheese, extra salsa, and sour cream ready.
- When the liquid has evaporated from the meat mixture, heat the other 2 tsp. of olive oil in another large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- If you want to season the oil, add several peeled garlic cloves and cook just until you smell garlic, then remove. Then add the finely diced Poblano chiles and cook for 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
- Add the frozen cauliflower rice and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until the cauliflower is heated through and any excess liquid has evaporated.
- Turn off heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
- To serve, put one-fourth of cauliflower rice in a bowl and top with one-fourth of the meat mixture.
- Add grated cheese, sliced olives, diced avocado, and diced tomatoes.
- Serve right away, with additional salsa and sour cream to serve at the table if desired.
- Any extra beef mixture and rice can be refrigerated and reheated later if this makes more than you’ll eat at one time. Don’t combine or add toppings until you’re ready to serve.
Notes
- Spike Seasoning and Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning can enhance flavor; check notes for substitutions.
- Optional items include diced green chiles and garlic cloves for seasoning.
- Be careful with the seasoning as some ingredients already have salt.
