Directions
1. In a cast iron skillet, melt butter, add the sausage and cook over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon. Stir the red onion, pepper, and garlic into the meat and saute for one minute, until fragrant.
2. Steam the riced cauliflower in the microwave according to package directions.
3. Add homemade taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine then cook on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes until extra liquid is absorbed. If the mixture gets too thick to your taste, add a little more chicken broth.
4. Simmer on low covered for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Note: You can also garnish with jalapeños, lime slices etc…

How did it turn out?
Although it was absolutely delicious and hubby said he definitely wants it again, I was shocked the recipe says servings is 2-3 and the calories per serving is 1285! I thought it was enough to serve 5-6 and with such a high calorie count didn’t leave any room to eat 2 other meals for the day nor any snacks. Would definitely make again but would use ground chicken/turkey and a smaller portion.
Do you think it would be flavorful enough to just use ground beef instead of sausage? Looks delicious!
Was so good. I used yellow onions instead of red onions and chicken sausage instead of pork sausage.
It was delicious!! My boyfriend has requested I make this again ASAP so he can have it for lunch every day!
This was an amazing dish. I served it to my two sisters and they both loved it for taco Tuesday.
