Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilis canned
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 ounces colby jack cheese freshly shredded
  • 3.8 ounces sliced black olives canned
  • shredded lettuce optional

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef in 10 inch ovenproof skillet. Drain.
  • Prepare cauliflower rice, if needed. (Leftover is perfect for this recipe)
  • Add diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and onion powder to ground beef.
  • Stir in the cauliflower rice, then cook until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 7-10 minutes more.
  • Stir in black olives and 1 cup of the shredded Colby Jack until cheese melted. Sprinkle on remaining cheese. Place skillet under oven broiler until top cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately. We like to top each serving with shredded lettuce.
