Servings: 6 bowls
- 1 12 oz bag riced cauliflower frozen
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning

Steam cauliflower rice according to instructions on the packaging.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the olive oil, onion, bell pepper and sauté until the onion softens. Should take around 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Now, add in the steamed cauliflower and cover it with taco seasoning. Stir well.
Then, add in diced tomatoes, chicken broth and give it a stir.
Lower the heat and let the skillet simmer for 10 minutes or so until it thickens up.
Add in cooked chicken and give it a stir. If it's too thick, just add a little bit more chicken broth. Cover and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Finally, cover the skillet with cheddar cheese and wait for it to melt. Cover with a lid to speed that up.
Top up with sliced jalapenos, cilantro and sour cream before serving.
