Good as a burrito stuffer

I add some celery, corn kernels, and jalapeño along with some taco seasoning. Wrap it up in a tortilla with a dab of sour cream for a quick burrito that my family loved.

Made this with ground moose burger! Spectacular recipe 👏

One can diced tomatoes...

Guest June 28, 2020 1:15 PM

What sized can? I mean, canned tomato is not a one size thing.

Awesome

This meal was delicious like a taco salad without the lettuce in a bowl.

Had this for dinner tonight. Fed my family of 6 with no leftovers because it was so delicious! I added zuchini to it as I had one in my fridge that needed to be used up.

Very good

I came home from work and needed something quick. This dish turned out very good. My husband ate it all without even knowing it was cauliflower rice. For the win!

Quick and Tasty

Healthy and yummy

I serve this with tortilla chips and we all scoop it up like a healthy Tex mex dish....... it’s delish!

Yum!

Great Recipe

Guest November 17, 2021 9:42 PM

I really loved this recipe! I added more cayenne pepper and it was perfect. Question: what is the measurement for 1 serving?

Glad to hear you liked this cauli and ground beef skillet! The serving sizes I use are approximate, for this recipe I'd say probably about 2 cups per serving. - Alena

Cauliflower rice & hamburger

Guest August 11, 2021 7:26 PM

Great recipe! Added chopped celery & a smidgen of zucchini. I’ll try shredding 1/2cup zucchini & add it next time. Definitely will use riced cauliflower from the garden. Can’t use anything newly preserved until after 1st snow fall🙂

alenatrs August 12, 2021 9:47 PM

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! I bet this cauli and beef skillet tastes even better with cauliflower from the garden ;) - Alena

Very good one pan meal

Guest August 1, 2021 7:52 PM

My husband and I enjoyed this. He wants me to add more ‘heat’ to it next time, but the key is that there will be a next time.

That is awesome, thanks for your good feedback! - Alena
