INGREDIENTS FOR THE BEEF TACO SKILLET

- Cauliflower rice – You can just as easily use cooked white rice, equally substituting
- Onion – 1 small yellow or white
- Bell pepper

TIPS AND COMMON QUESTIONS FOR THE BEEF TACO SKILLET
- Do I have to use cauliflower rice? Absolutely not, white rice or brown rice would work just fine. Sometimes I even do a combo of white rice and cauliflower rice. It does need to be cooked ahead of time though.
- How is this best served? This skillet is a great base to be served with tortilla chips for scooping or just enjoyed on its own. I also like to put it over shredded lettuce for more of a salad. Even in a tortilla for a burrito or taco is good.
- Is there anything else you can add to this skillet to make it even more healthy? If I have other veggies, like zucchini or baby spinach, I like to chop that and add it in. There is so much flavor in this that more veggies just make it more delicious.
