Spanish Cauliflower Rice with Ground Beef Recipe (with Video)

Cook the meat and vegetables
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
2. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, chopped peppers and 1 teaspoon salt.
3. Use a sturdy silicone spatula or spoon to break up the meat and stir everything around occasionally, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are soft.
Add the spices
1. Push the beef and veggie mixture around the edge of the pan.
2. Add the oregano, coriander, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and paprika to the center of the pan.
3. Stir the spices around for about 30 seconds - this is called "blooming" the spices and helps intensify their flavor.
4. Stir the toasted spices into the meat and vegetables.
Add the liquids and simmer
1. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth and coconut aminos (if using).
2. Turn the heat up, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat until it maintains a strong simmer.
3. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, until slightly reduced and thicker.
Add the cauliflower rice and final ingredients
1. Stir in the frozen cauliflower rice.
2. Simmer everything for another 2-3 minutes, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
3. Stir in the olives (if using) and most of the parsley.
4. Taste and add more salt if necessary (I usually add around 1/2 teaspoon salt).
5. Serve warm with the lime wedges to squeeze over, sprinkling on the remaining parsley.
