Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or oil of choice
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 bell peppers diced (any color, I used red)
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef if preferred
  • 1 heaping cup fresh salsa
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (from one head of cauliflower, or use pre-made)
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning or use your favorite
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and ground turkey. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and other spices. Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables.
  • Mix in the fresh salsa and cauliflower rice. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more red pepper flakes or hot sauce if you prefer it spicier.
  • Remove from heat and serve warm, topped with garnishes like chopped cilantro, avocado, or cheese.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the cauliflower rice; it should be tender but not mushy.
  • Use fresh salsa for the best flavor.
  • Taste the seasoning as you go, especially with salt.
