Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1/2 Onion, chopped
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 2 tsp Minced Garlic

Spices

  • 2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • Cayenne Pepper, to taste
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Other Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Cauliflower Rice
  • 1/2 cup Rotel, drained
  • 1 cup Fiesta Blend Shredded Cheese
  • 5 Zero Carb Street Taco Tortillas, cut into strips

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat and Sauté Vegetables: Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and chopped red and green bell peppers to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables have softened. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the dish lean.
  2. Add Spices and Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium, then add minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper adjusted to your preference, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir and sauté for 1 more minute to develop the flavors.
  3. Incorporate Cauliflower Rice and Rotel: Mix in the cauliflower rice and drained Rotel tomatoes. Continue sautéing for 2 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to heat through and absorb the spices.
  4. Add Tortilla Strips: Stir in the strips of zero carb street taco tortillas evenly throughout the mixture to give the dish a crispy texture and burrito feel.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the fiesta blend shredded cheese over the top of the skillet. Turn off the heat and cover the skillet briefly, letting the residual heat melt the cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use zero carb tortillas or low-carb alternatives to keep the dish keto-friendly.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level.
  • Draining excess fat is important for a leaner meal and better texture.
  • Fiesta blend cheese adds a nice mix of flavors, but you can use any shredded cheese of your choice.
  • This dish is great for meal prep and reheats well in a skillet or microwave.
