Description

A warm and satisfying taco casserole with a low-carb twist, perfect for busy weeknights and family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, cilantro


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the ground meat in a skillet over medium heat until browned, then drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Top with shredded cheese for that melty goodness.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Serve warm with your choice of optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, swap ground beef for turkey or a plant-based alternative. To enhance flavor, use fresh onions and garlic; consider adding jalapeños or refried beans.
