Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Toppings

  • Jalapenos sliced
  • Cilantro chopped
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  • 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.
