Instructions

  1. Rice the cauliflower
    Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Alternatively, use a box grater to grate the cauliflower. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cook the cauliflower rice
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-6 minutes until slightly tender but not mushy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Prepare the protein
    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add ground turkey or chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add aromatics and spices
    Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the meat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Combine all ingredients
    Return the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until heated through and flavors are melded.
  6. Finish and season
    Stir in the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve
    Divide the cauliflower rice mixture among four bowls. Garnish with additional cilantro, lime wedges, and optional toppings such as avocado slices, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
