Ingredients
Beef and Seasoning
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
Cauliflower Rice
- 16 oz. bag of riced cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (from the jar)
- 1/2 packet Goya Sazón
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice from one lime
- Zest from 1/2 a lime
Optional Garnishes
- Shredded cheese
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Diced onion
- Salsa
Instructions
- Cook the seasoned ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat on the stove, cook the ground beef along with the homemade taco seasoning until the beef is fully browned and cooked through. Once done, set aside for serving.
- Sauté garlic for cauliflower rice: In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Cook the riced cauliflower: Add the riced cauliflower to the garlic and olive oil mixture. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
- Season the cauliflower rice: Sprinkle half a packet of Goya Sazón over the cooked cauliflower rice. Stir well to combine and evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Add fresh lime and cilantro: Stir in the lime juice, half the lime zest, and the chopped cilantro to the cauliflower rice to add brightness and fresh flavor.
- Assemble the burrito bowls: Divide the cooked ground beef and cauliflower cilantro lime rice evenly into four bowls. Top each bowl with your preferred garnishes such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, diced onion, or salsa as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Homemade taco seasoning typically includes chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano – adjust to taste.
- If you prefer spicier food, add some cayenne pepper or diced jalapeño to the beef while cooking.
- To keep it dairy-free, skip the cheese and sour cream or substitute with dairy-free alternatives.
- Make sure not to overcook the cauliflower rice to maintain a nice texture and prevent it from becoming watery.
- Use fresh lime juice and cilantro for the best flavor impact.
