Sausage Taco Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/3 c red onion diced
  • 1/3 c green pepper or Jalapeño, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium can diced tomatoes or 3 tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 12 oz bag steamed riced cauliflower (or 1 head cauliflower riced)
  • 2 Tbsp homemade taco seasoning or taco seasoning packet
  • 3/4 c chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 c cheddar cheese or mozzarella
  • 1/2 c Monterrey jack cheese
  • fresh cilantro chopped, for topping

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Steam the riced cauliflower in the microwave according to package directions.
  • 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.
  • Simmer on low covered for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
