Description
A nourishing, low-carb meal featuring tender beef, crisp veggies, and a zesty lime-cilantro drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (lean for a healthier option)
- Bell peppers (any color, diced)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Cauliflower rice (or regular rice)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Juice of 1 lime
- A handful of cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the veggies: Toss in the diced onions and bell peppers. Cook until they’re tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Spice it up: Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Heat the cauliflower rice: In a separate pan, sauté the cauliflower rice with a pinch of salt until it’s nicely warmed and slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cauliflower rice, then top with the beef-vegetable mixture.
- Finish with zest: Drizzle lime juice over the top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Give it a gentle toss if you like.
- Serve and enjoy: Dig in!
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute beef with black beans. Add toppings like diced avocado or shredded cheese for extra flavor.
